My Day in the Haunted House and My Day under the Sea.: Colorful adventures in the "My Day" series of children's picture books, plus a bonus "My Day" a

By Barbara Freedman-De Vito

This children's picture book includes three crazy adventures from Barbara's original "MY DAY" series, where kids can imagine that they are the stars of each story. The first two tales are full of colorful illustrations. In "My Day in the Haunted House," be sure to look for the little mouse who appears somewhere in each picture and, in "My Day under the Sea," try to spot the bright little fish on every page. The third tale in this book, "My Day at School," is told in the form of a draw and tell story. For lots more days of fun, don't forget to check out Barbara's second volume of wacky "MY DAY" stories, too. As with all of Barbara's other original full color illustrated picture books, this book concludes with a bonus draw and tell story, complete with instructions and a big traceable drawing to help any novice learn how to use this traditional storytelling technique to successfully tell a draw and tell story. Draw and tell stories are simple stories for young children. These drawing tales are very easy to use and require no special materials or experience. As each draw and tell story is told, its characters and objects are sketched onto a single sheet of paper, while children look on. These simple elements build up on the drawing until, by the time the story ends, a composite picture representing the subject of the story has emerged, much to the children's delight. The draw and tell form of storytelling is great for parents, teachers and children's librarians. Author Barbara Freedman-De Vito has been creating and using draw and tell stories for many years in her work as a children's librarian, freelance storyteller, teacher and workshop leader.
