What better way to teach students to write than through their own experiences, their own senses, their own feelings of mystery, wonder, excitement, and dread! Let teachers everywhere use this book to make new Kafkas, Woolfs, and Ellisons, and to awaken in every student a love for making words that just sing off the page!"

Always student-centered, Levitt invites us to keep children and their interests at the heart of writing." Author: Pat Cordeiro, Professor of Elementary Education Published On: 2008-07-17
