Read or Listen to the Story. Create Your Own Character. Complete the Pictures. Write or Tell Your Own Story
This is the story of the Little Sweeper who loved to clean the dirty streets of the town. The children of the town are jealous and tease the Little Sleeper. They steal his broom and hide it, giving him three days to find it. He searches everywhere. Deep in the woods, the horrid children break his broom into tiny sticks and burn it. Magically the broom rises from the embers, multiplies and helps the Little Sweeper teach the children how to laugh and play with him.
While this distinctive book can simply be read and enjoyed as an adventurous and entertaining story, it is designed so that readers are also invited to participate and contribute by using their own creative imagination
Settings and Drawing Instructions are provided so that children will be able to complete the illustrations in the book. At the close of the book, a Writing Page is offered to encourage children to write their own version of the story. There is also a Portrait Page provided for them to draw their own Little Sweeper.
Invitational Books offers a unique concept.
The interactive format of these books challenge and enhance the interaction required between the child/artist and the information provided in the context of the story. The format provides for developmental work and discussions between the parent/educator and the child on a wide variety of levels. The child/artist is provided with context clues and minimal environmental clues as a backdrop for the development of the main character as they move through the enchanted and transformational story together. In the end, the child/artist has the opportunity to reinvent the story using their own words and imagination.
The applications for this format are virtually limitless. There are three primary markets for this program:
Educational Settings
After-School Arts Programs
At-Home Schooling and Valuable Gifts.
