Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Scientific American
I want to thank you for providing such excellent material in your Story S-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-r-s series.
From Booklist
As useful and practical as Raines' previous titles, this new compilation has an added bonus: sources are arranged according to curriculum units in social studies, science, and literature, with chapters covering areas such as self-esteem, endangered animals, and folktales from around the world. Each chapter incorporates discussion of five theme-related picture books and suggests accompanying activities in art, music, writing, and creative dramatics. Among the picture books included are Kevin Henkes' Chrysanthemum, Faith Ringgold's Tar Beach, and Alma Flor Ada's Rooster Who Went to His Uncle's Wedding. The book is also replete with suggestions for additional readings and references for further study, and the appendix includes a simple recipe for art dough and the basic steps for binding a book. A solid, well-designed work, this will be a valuable resource for teachers as well as librarians. Janice Del Negro

More Story Stretchers for the Primary,
By
This review is from: 450 More Story S-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-r-s (Stretchers) for the Primary Grades: Activities to Expand Children's Favorite Books (Paperback)
I was disappointed in this book. I also own the original story stretchers for the primary grades. I found this second book to be geared towards intermediate grades. The original book includes far more writing activities that, in my opinion, are more suitable for lower grades, such as K-2. These stories in the second book are too indepth and the writing activities, when included, have more higher order thinking scenarios-something my first graders are not quite ready for in their writings.
