Picture Books of the Day
Anastasia Suen's Picture Book of the Day blog [http://picturebookoftheday.blogspot.com/]is a great place to study the variety of children's picture books in print. Each day a different book is featured as an example of 6 writing traits, organization, voice, conventions, word choice, ideas, sentence fluency. Here's a link explaining these 6 writing traits in more detail: http://www.kent.k12.wa.us/staff/LindaJancola/6Trait/what.htm
What picture book am I reading today? GRANDPA'S GAMBLE by Richard Michelson/ illustrated by Barry Moser. In it a Jewish grandfather reveals the touching story of his past to his grandchildren. This book has an interesting voice, told through the eyes of the grandson--who at first belittles his grandfather until he comes to understand what has made his grandfather the prayerful man he is.
ACROSS THE ALLEY and HAPPY FEET: THE SAVOY BALLROOM LINDY HOPPERS AND ME are two other picture books by Richard Michelson that I enjoyed. He has others as well. Hope you are able to read some of them.
And tomorrow I hope to attend a reading by Richard Michelson. Tune back in for an update.
