A Squiggly Story by Andrew Larsen
/How do you write a story when you don't know how to write? A little helpful advice from big sister jumpstarts our young hero's writing career. Start with what you know!
It's relatively easy to pick out books that go along with all of the five pre-reading practices from Every Child Ready to Read, EXCEPT for writing. Finding books that talk about writing or that might inspire writing or feature writing is especially difficult. Larsen's A Squiggly Story is a good example of a writing focused text. That being said, the story isn't super intriguing, though I love the illustrations and the graphic novel format of this text. Just because it didn't knock it out of the park for me though doesn't mean it wouldn't be a valuable addition to a library. It's a quiet story that will enchant and inspire those littles who dream of being authors.
