Violet and Victor Write the Best-Ever Bookworm Book by Bethanie Deeney Murguia

Victor and Violet are twins.  Violet loves to write and is a great speller.  Victor is would rather count his worms then write a book with Violet.  Together they will write a story, one that Violet hopes will be a best-seller.  Through a series of conversations, the two create an adventure story about a terrible book-eating monster that turns out to be a bookworm.  The illustrations are incredible with a great mix of mediums, lettering and coloring combined using Adobe Photoshop (information in back of book).

How To Bake a Book by Ella Burfoot


Bake a book?  One little girl learns the recipe for "baking" the perfect book. Characters, some big words, some little words, some pictures, good and bad - all mixed together for a perfect book.  Great introduction to writing for elementary students - or reminder of the important elements that must be combined to make a perfect book.  Illustrations are fun and perfectly suited to the content of the book.
