Celebrate Nonfiction

Exploring the Joy of Nonfiction Reading and Writing

Book of the Week: No Monkeys, No Chocolate

Educators
often ask me which of my books would work best in their classroom. So this
year, I’ve decided to feature a book each week and highlight related teaching
materials and strategies.

No Monkeys, No
Chocolate
is one of my favorite books, so I went all out when it came to creating related
teaching materials.

The
book has its own Teachers Guide, ReadersTheater script, and  fun activity sheets.
But the pièce de résistance is this Revision Timeline that features a dozen videos, downloadable
rejected manuscripts, sample sketches for the illustrator, and more that
explain the 10-year process of creating the book. Yep. 10 years, and 56
revisions. It was a lot of work, but well worth it in the end.

Enjoy!
