Book Reviews of A Story With Pictures
Book Review: A Fantastic Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Children will love this entertaining tale of a writer, an illustrator, and a duck. Besides being laugh-out-loud funny, this clever story introduces children to the basic elements of fiction: characters, setting, and conflict. In addition, it humanizes the people (authors and illustrators) who create books like this for children. There's nothing quite like this one on the market!
Summary of A Story With Pictures
When an author loses her manuscript, the illustrator decides to take charge, painting characters that would never appear in the author's book-including the author herself! Through this energetic tale, students will laugh and learn as a duck offers tips about character, setting, conflict, and other basic elements of a story.Picture Books
