Practical and entertaining
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Stevens has written and illustrated many successful picture books. She uses the fictional genre to show rather than tell her young readers about writing and illustrating a book. Vivid animal characters request her to write a book about them. Children see the process of creating the setting, plot, characters, and having tension in the story. The book ends with the suggestion for the reader to write a story.
A Definite Winner!

I love Janet Stevens' work and this one is no exception. The illustrations are delightful, as always, and the concept of showing readers how a book is made is terrific. I'll enjoy sharing this with classes. It would be a great lead-in for students to do writing of their own, too. It's a winner!
A wonderful story for children and adults of all ages!

Stevens has created a delightful story, complete with fabulous illustrations, in which she models for the reader how a book/story is written. This is a valuable/must resource for any elementary teacher wanting to introduce or reinforce the elements of a story or who just wants her students to enjoy a well-written, fun tale
