5.0 out of 5 stars Literacy and Art, a greatly inspired team, August 15, 2008
By Peggy Clayton (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
Kids favorite books inspire easy art activities for kids. Excellent. I've found that when the kids do art projects that relate to their favorite picture books, they like their books more and want to read them more closely, and more often. They become finely tuned to the illustrations, and certainly this is an inspiration to create their own art. I've got some favorites in this book. One of them is based on Marshmallow the Bunny, where kids try their hand at charcoal drawing. Of course there's an Eric Carle collage from painted paper. And another favorite is Watercolor Snow Collage based on Ezra Jack Keats' "The Snowy Day". Really pretty but still open ended for kids to feel expression of their own. One of the most intriguing projects is one using simple photos the kids take, yes little kids can take pictures!!!, is based on Dare Wright's photography books with her little doll, Edith, and the doll's companion, Mr. Bear. Kids set up scenes with their toys and take digital pictures of them, then print out and tell stories. I did this with some kindergarteners and it was extremely successful. They want to do it all the time. So, why not? If they want to learn to read from their own little picture photo stories, who am I to say no? : ) Excellent for teachers and inspirational for kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars MaryAnn Kohl, review update/literacy connection, July 30, 2008
I travel around the country working with childcare people and early childhood teachers (young kids through grade three). They seem to love this book, with its connection to favorite picture books. When kids do art that is in the style or technique of the illustrator, they are more tuned in to the book when they read it again, and they are definitely more tuned in to illustrations in all books. If you value the art of books, so will kids. I'm very happy that educators see the impact art can have on literacy.
