Not only are the pictures very detailed but much of the detail repeats cleverly throughout the book allowing the students to approach the idea of patterns and development as part of a text through the much more accessible route of pictures. It's this last part that I think makes Ottoline and the Yellow Cat such a great book for teaching close reading to second graders. It's been three months since I taught this book to my group of second graders and they STILL reference it during discussions of entirely unrelated books! Not only that but they bring in other books from the series and insist I look at visual motifs that have carried through from this book, the first in the series.

Having Moon Knight protect his Midnight Mission I think helps to ground the character. Spidey primarily operates out of Brooklyn. Additionally, the idea of Moon Knight having a neighborhood under his jurisdiction and his protection if very interesting to me. The oranges used in the scene between Mo on Knight and the vampires is beautiful and perfect, as it compliments the red of their eyes. Rachelle Rosenberg's colors in this book really make every action scene, drawn by Alessandro Cappuccio, pop. It is a really fun play on vampire tropes and I am glad that this is the first threat we see Moon Knight protecting his Mission from - as he is a superhero deeply tied to a lot of Marvel's horror characters. The vampire story in this issue is interesting and fun to me because the vampires talk about vampirism as if it is this massive pyramid scheme in which each person you turn into a vampire (bringing them into the structure) becomes your sub-ord. So this is my reread of this book, as I want to revisit issues 1-6 as they are in the first collected edition of this series. |
