Customer Reviews

Still fun...

My mother bought this book when I was nine and made myself and my two sisters create books. She really did have to make us do it in the beginning (we were less than enamoured) but by the end I loved it. Since then I have made three more; the last of which I did in three days while on summer break from college. Even a decade later it was still a great deal of fun.

Great way to learn to write

I'm teaching this as a volunteer in elementary school. Very step by step, cookbook way to do it. Very easy to follow, you don't have to be a great writer or artist to teach this to kids. Easy to follow, materials are inexpensive, and kids who don't like to read or write will make huge improvements. Also very good for special ed students. They can make great strides with the two brain approach. You might learn something too.

Work to be proud of...

I'm buying a second copy of this book, my first copy has fallen to pieces I've used it so often.The book is very step-by-step. Any interested adult can use this book to help children write the most amazing books:they're both amazing and books children are truly proud of and keep for years after.

Very inspiring! A good book for browsing!

If you're interested in writing, you have to get this book. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. Just getting the general idea of the book will make you want to pick up a pen or paintbrush!

"Used for seven years in my class! Excellent!

I have used this text/guideline in my multi-grade classrooms for 7 years and love it. It works well with gifted students as well as typical kids. Highly suggest it as an alternative from the same old routine in language arts and graphic art.
