Author/Illustrator: David Wiesner
This is a Fantasy Book. I enjoyed reading it. It tells a story of a child who gets "taken away" when his class visits the Empire State Building. Soon he is floating on clouds that come alive. The illustrations are beautiful. It encourages your own imagination as does children's. There are no words so it forces children to make their own. A good way of bringing this to the classroom might be to have the whole class make up the words on each page. Suggested reading level are Pre-k and up. Very good book!

David Weisner's books encourage imagination and critical thinking.
Diane J. Wood: I love fantasy and "Sector 7" sounds very interesting especially with all the possibilities a child who is 3-5years can create describing what they see. When you listen to children read without words, their imagination is incredible!
