(More customer reviews)For the past few years I have been searching through endless piles of children's literature to find the best examples of writing craft. While many great resources are available, I love how clearly this book relates the different examples of writing craft and doesn't require multiple hours of searching for the right mentor text to supplement your writing lesson. A fantastic resource for any teacher who believes in providing the best literature for growing readers and writers!
