Spann, Mary Beth
This book offers a collection of 30 fun-filled book-writing and book-making projects guaranteed to engage beginning writers of every ability level. Intended for teachers of kindergarten through grade 2, the book provides an easy-to-implement approach to bookmaking. Each of the books is thematic in content and shape and use rhyming poetry as a creative way to build literacy. The shapes of the books are designed to match different topics and seasons that children can relate to, such as: time ("Tick-Tock Clock"), animals ("Giant Dinosaurs,""Playful Penguin"), Halloween ("Orange Pumpkin"), and the weather ("Frosty Snowman,""Weather Window"). The books are simple to execute and assemble and are easily completed in a week. The guide begins with instructions, publishing tips, and suggestions for sharing the books. (CR)
