More Keep 'Em Reading Bulletin Boards: Year-Roung Designs for the Library and Classroom [Paperback]

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Like Ben De Soto's Keep 'em Reading Bulletin Boards (Upstart, 2001), this book is divided into three main sections: seasons, holidays and special events, and all occasions. It presents basic displays that promote reading, each with a central, reproducible picture and peripheral graphics to support the theme. The introductory pages give instructions for enlarging and tracing the designs, preserving the displays, and creating special effects with various art mediums. Each main section has several thematic displays using upbeat, cartoon-style graphics aimed at elementary-level students. Each board includes a slogan and alternate ideas as well as ways to incorporate students' names and books read. There are suggestions for other themes that could be promoted using the same graphic pieces. This is a helpful, easy-to-use resource for teachers and librarians. There are, however, many such books, and this one is not particularly unique. Shirley Norby's Media Center Bulletin Boards (T. S. Denison, 1996; o.p.) has fewer reproducible graphics, but it does include appropriate book titles and student activity ideas for each theme.–Lynda Ritterman, Atco Elementary School, Waterford, NJ

I purchased this product thinking it would be the same quality as the first book. It wasn't! The graphics are poorly done and look like sketches rather than bulletin board quality art work.
