Week 15 PBID Question

Week 15 is a week of firsts for the Picture Book Identification Tournament. This is the first week...

1. to ask a question without showing an image from a picture book.
2. to show images based on a picture book, but not actually from the book.
3. the question tells you the title of the book.
4. that gives you directions as to how to answer the question. 

Seems strange, but I have faith in you. You can do it! So let's get started. You will recognize the following images right away.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas - 1966

How the Grinch Stole Christmas - 2000

The Grinch - 2018

To answer this week's question, first give your answer without checking the book. Then, when you check the book, give your final answer. (You can do both in one comment.) Ready? Here it comes: 

The book How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss was first published in 1957. The original illustrations were done completely in black and white and only one other color. What was the only color used in the illustrations?

Week 13 and 14 PBID Answers

Week 14 PBID Question

Two weeks ago was a pretty tough question, but last week a bunch of kids told me the question was way too easy. Maybe this one is in-the-middle. As you can see, this picture features six characters wearing sweaters, and with the way the temperature has been around here, a nice, warm sweater is a great thing to have. So, speaking of sweaters ... 

Who made these sweaters?

Week 13 PBID Question

We've had a little snow here and there this fall, but it has all melted. Until this past weekend, that is. Now it looks like everything will be snow-covered until spring. We've entered the season of hats and mittens, boots and snow pants, and hopefully some hot chocolate every once in a while. Which leads us to this week's question. This young man woke up to a winter wonderland and got all dressed up in his warm clothes, just like all of us in Wisconsin this morning.

What is this character's name?
