What the
Publisher is saying . . .
My
Adventure books are as unique as the young
person who finishes them. Every page calls for
new pictures to be drawn and new words to be
added. From the space on the front cover, to the
spaces inside the book, the options are
never-ending. My Adventure books
challenge the imagination and create books
worthy of being read again and again. Each
adventure in the series is innovative and
different, rich in excitement and detail,
allowing young authors and artists to create a
book of their own.
What Parents
Are Saying . . .
The stories
in the My Adventure series provide a way
for children to learn interesting facts about
exciting places, from the great pyramids to an
artist's studio. The fun thing about these
stories is that they allow a child to become
involved in the story by filling in key
words. Once the child completes the story, he or
she personalizes it further by illustrating the
pages.
Children who
are overwhelmed or struggle to begin a story,
learn narrative language as they
contribute to a partially written sequence
of events. Hopefully, after reading and
completing these stories, children will be inspired to do some research and
writing of their own.
I would
recommend these stories to both teachers and
parents of elementary school children.

Gitskin, elementary teacher and mother of two
What Teachers
Are Saying . . .
My
Adventure at the Concert Hall will give
children an introduction to attending a
symphony. The cloze technique is used to allow
children to become active in the reading and
processing of new information. Teachers could
use this book to "front load" the kids for
learning before the actual experience.
Writing
activities such as describing the specific
concert hall they visited would give more
opportunities for making the experience
memorable.
As an
educator, writer, and summer writing camp
co-director, I think this concept book has great
potential.
