Voices in the Park: 2nd Voice

We're reading Anthony Browne's picture book Voices in the Park. Today we focused especially on the 2nd Voice.

We looked at the change between these two pictures. They've been to the park and Smudge has cheered dad up a lot:



The changes are a metaphor for what has changed in dad's feelings. here we are talking about what we noticed in 4G:
