Weareborgswife says:

“This book is a great way to expose my middle/high school students to a variety of authors and literary styles, without overwhelming them with the entire book. I am hoping this stirs and interest in them to explore the entire work, and other literature by these authors. The layout is similar for each book- learn a bit about the author, then read small section from a book by that author and pick out some vocabulary or "interesting" words to define/write about. Copy 2 paragraphs from a work by that author, draw something inspired by the author's work etc.”

“We just received this book and are very excited to start it ! It has great illustrations and takes you through so many wonderful classics. For middle/high school students.” Chelsea (December 20, 2017)ISBN-10: 1981913033ISBN-13: 978-1981913039
