How to Make a Picture Book review

 How to Make a Picture Book by Elys Dolan

Make your own picture book with this hilarious, activity-filled guide (goodreads summary)

 

 

 

 


Here is a wonderful step-by-step guide book to help with the creative writing process for younger grades.  It offers great tips along with activities for kids on writing and illustrating their own story or picture book.  
 
By showing kids how to start with story ideas, then character development and setting, Elys the worm helps with sentence starters to form a plot.  An activity is added after each one so readers can put what they learned into practice.  When their story is finished, there are details on how to put it into a picture book format, illustration blocks and how even color affects the feelings and thinking of a reader.  There is so much useful information to learn and the illustrations are bold and bright.  It is an engaging activity guide but entertaining to read as well.  Perfect for the start of the new school year. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 6-9.~
