Synopsis

Two rhyming books in one that inspire and encourage children who are learning to read and write.<\/b> With a jaunty rhyme and a diverse cast of characters at various stages of reading and writing, there is something for everyone here. Learning to read? Scan, sound, simmer, think. You can guzzle words and ink. You might stumble, you might sigh. But readers practice, grow, and fly! Learning to write? Wake, watch, wonder, plot. You can weave with words and thoughts. Still staring at an empty page? Every writer knows that stage. Ask What if? Change your view. Try a pen\-\-or stick\-\-that\x27s new. But writers read and draft, and fly! You are a Reader! \/ You are a Writer! is a book made to be read twice, once from the front and once from the back. Seen one way, children will see all the joys that reading can bring, but flip it over and they\x27ll be inspired by the imaginative possibilities of writing! Throughout the book are suggestions for where to find inspiration for reading and writing and different ways to move on if you are discouraged. Christine Davenier\x27s energetic illustrations add to the fun in this true celebration of what it means to be a reader and a writer, no matter how accomplished you are or aren\x27t. Praise for Snowy Race<\/i> A girl gets to ride on her dad\x27s giant snowplow in this delightful rhyming tale. They race through the heavy snow, but it\x27s not clear where they\x27re going until they arrive at the train station. . . Prince\x27s (What Do Wheels Do All Day?) text is intriguingly spare, letting Davenier\x27s (The First Thing My Mama Told Me) softly exuberant wintertime scenes shine. \-\-The New York Times<\/i><\/b> Rhyming, minimal text coupled with fetching illustrations by Davenier expertly convey the exhilarating drama of entering into a snowstorm as well as the comfy feelings of being in a warm house while the weather is frightful. \-\-School Library Journal<\/i><\/b> A winning, winter race. \-\-Kirkus Reviews<\/i><\/b>
