Adventures with Zap: How to Help an Alien: A Writing and Drawing Book for Earthlings Ages 4 to 8

Adventures with Zap introduces the magic of storytelling through playful writing practice. Children build skills and confidence while creating a precious keepsake!

Writing coach Diane Landy brings years of elementary and preschool classroom experience to this one-of-a-kind book, in which each writing and drawing prompt is carefully crafted around a comic story. Kids will:

• create characters, settings, and action scenes
• bring pictures to life with words
• brainstorm when stuck
• write thoughts and dialogue
• use “power words”
• express feelings and wishes.

Calling all Earth kids! Meet Zap, a spunky blue alien from the planet Vox Nova. When a stowaway from Earth sneaks onto his spaceship, he makes lots of mistakes. Is the furry creature friendly? Or dangerous? Zots! Quick, grab a pencil to teach Zap about our world. Share memories, too, and make up adventures of your own.
