About this title

From School Library Journal

Gr 2-4-Each book contains four stories that are used as models. Expressive vignettes accompany the tales. Corresponding activities for aspiring writers to try out follow each example, e.g., in Adventure, readers are asked to rewrite a story from a different character's point of view. In Fairy Tales, after an abridged version of "Cinderella," children are encouraged to make up an invitation to an event, modeled after Cinderella's invitation to the ball. The variety of suggested writing exercises, along with the short model stories that can be read in a single class period, makes this a serviceable series. Back matter includes even more writing ideas and a grammar glossary. α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
