by MaryAnn Kohl and, as you all know, I love to put together booklists and make spreadsheets when I'm planning to do a unit on something. So I got myself all organized for this book and thought I'd pass my notes along. There are 100 picture books with corresponding activity ideas in the style of the book's illustrator. There are four categories: 25 books for Paint, 25 books for Draw, 25 books for Cut/Collage, 25 books for Craft/Construct.I made a spreadsheet listing all 100 books and their authors, plus columns for organizing do I already own it, can I get it from the library, or do I wish to buy it? Then I made a webpage showing the covers of all the books with the name of the art activity listed under it. Check it out!
How happy I was to find that you are obsessed with a book that I wrote... Storybook Art! Thank you for your wonderful recommendation. I work with kids all the time as a visiting author, and I can tell you they love it too. It makes them tune in more deeply to their favorite books asking to have them read over and over again as they look at the details of illustrations in a new way. But I think you already knew that!!
