Sandy Asher introduces each story with a description of the special rules and rewards of its genre and follows each with a biography of the author and an interview with him or her about the piece. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book is excellent for teaching kids about different genres. It has a bunch of different kinds of stories, and each one is absorbing, but succinct. It is nice to be able to read an example aloud to a class in just a day or two, so they really get a feeling for what is special about the genre. I highly recommend it for reading or writing teachers of late elementary and up.
Delightful Stories!

This book is mainly a collecton of stories pulling you into different genres of books. My faborite sory was the horror story, "The Wall." All the other stories are nice too. I love this book. Sandy Asher did a good job collecting the short stories for use. I also enjoyed seeing famous authors. Perfect for bedtime stories for kids and adults alike.
