Brian was there to MC and answer questions. The event was sponsored by the Rabbit Hole children's book experience raising funds now to be a full immersion children's book living museum here in KC. They used to be my favorite Children's Book store- The Reading Reptile here in Kc with wild and oversized sculptures of children's book characters filling the space, an art area, films and even puppet shows by some of the world's best authors and illustrators of children's books.<a href="http://www.rabbitholekc.org/">www.rabbitholekc.org/</a>.Michelle Meadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15170148935767147312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7165074045343695201.post-21964742888984812292017-04-23T07:59:00.002-07:002018-01-06T09:24:51.168-08:00Good News, Awards from Hollins and Critiques from Simon and Schuster<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<ol>
<li><b><u>How to Write Stories</u></b> by Celia Warren; www.qeb-publishing.com. I recommend this fun interactive book for middle grade kids to have fun with tips on "pinning your ideas to the page, creating believable characters, interesting lots and cliff hangers". Fun graphic layout promotes creativity.</li>
<li><u><b>Be A Creative Writer</b></u>; Tick Tock Books. I would recommend this fun real-life writer trivia meets scrap book of writing style for 5th 6th and 7th graders and through Middle School students. Lots of cut and paste graphics and pop ups make this an interactive read as well as a learning experience!</li>
<li><u style="font-weight: bold;">Scholastic Guides: How to Write Poetry,</u> Paul B.Janeczko. Great basic guide to all types of poetry, a good introduction and a fun way to support the poetic knowledge and poem building skills of your juvenile poet.</li>
</ol>
