This review is from: Teaching Story Elements With Favorite Books (Grades 1-3) (Paperback)
I teach 4th grade and found that I used this book all the time. It is a very good way to introduce each story element in a very concrete way. I use it and entend the activities to fit with chapter books. I would highly recommend this bbok.
