Manners Mash-Up: A Goofy Guide to Good Behavior de Tedd Arnold
Independent Reading Level: PK-3
This was a cool book we read for trends and methods. This is a great book for art class. I really loved how encouraging this book is. I loved how this was a book you can show to a student and show them that they are loved and they can do hard things.
“I can’t draw”: Book Review of The Dot
Review by Sarah Mist
A young girl, Vashti, thinks she can’t draw, but her art teacher inspires her and she realizes her own creative talent.
A sweet, inspiring story about cutting through narrow limiting concepts about art and creativity. I love the simple line and water colour illustrations and even the scratchy font was an inspiration. I think this book really hit the mark with my seven-year-old son who went through a phase of thinking that leaves could only be painted green and the sky had to be blue. I did notice a distinctive shift in his approach to art after reading this lovely little book.
★★★★★ 5 stars from my seven-year-old son… (més)

Young logophile Jerome moves through a deepening relationship with words in Reynolds’ latest.
Jerome, a young boy of color, is a fastidious collector, but rather than collecting bugs or coins or comic books, Jerome collects words. Words that are new to him, words that sound fascinating to him, words that delight him—Jerome copies down his favorites and keeps them organized in scrapbooks. One day, Jerome takes a tumble, and his books of words seem to explode, and clouds of paper fill the page. His collection becomes fantastically jumbled as “words he had not imagined being side by side” suddenly inspire Jerome to make new creations not only to collect, but also to share. Phrases become poems, and poems become songs. Simple words share powerful feelings. Even as he delights in sharing of himself with his burgeoning lexicon, he decides to share his collection as well, releasing it into the wind for others to find and begin their own collections. In his love letter to those who take delight in words, Reynolds elegantly and with almost ironic brevity demonstrates the entrancing meanings and sounds and textures of English words together with uncluttered (if fairly literal) illustrations to capture the beauty of words and the wonder of sharing them with others. (Languages other than English are largely unrepresented.)
Enchanting if monolingual. (Picture book. 4-8)
