We haven't been paying enough attention to Brian Selznick's detailed illustrations in Frindle. Look at a few now. Pick your favorite. Tell us the page and describe it. What are the best details in the illustration you chose? Is there any sly humor in it?
I like the very first illustration in the book. It shows a baby (Nick?) wrapped in a blanket with all letters on it. I believe his father is holding him and Baby Nick is reaching for a pen in his dad's pocket.
Nick Allen likes words and I think it is humorous and sly that the illustrator put letters on his blanket. Also, since I've read the book, it is funny that he is reaching for a pen ... You'll see why.
Nick Allen has one is his hand
