I’ll admit it… I couldn’t name the author of The Poky Little Puppy, but this was one of my favorite books as a child and I still, to this day have at least 2 copies on my bookshelf and love to share it with students!

Comment on Great Advice From Legendary Children’s Book Authors by Kelly

Great insight from two great writers. I am especially fond of Judy Blume. Growing up in the 80’s, I can remember reading all of her books when they came out. And I think she hit it on the head.

What I really connected with was the feeling that I could identify with the characters, and I somehow felt comforted that I was not the only one dealing with life and the discovery of growing up.

I don’t really think I have found any other authors or books that had the same kind of effect on me. I mean, I do enjoy reading even to this day,but just not feeling the same connection.

Comment on A Trailer to Promote a Children’s Book — What a Great Idea! by Stephen

Stephen — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 14:04:10 +0000

Hi,
I had been thinking of creating a dvd of my story for my kids where each page is presented as a still image with me narrating and music. I also do some animation and thought certain scenes would be good to animate. The idea of putting a trailer on youtube would be great.

Check out my 2 stories at these links.

The first is called “Mrs. Postikit and the Waffle Emergencies” and can be read here:

The other is called “Mr. Postikit and the Mouse in the Wall” and can be read here:

Thanks for the tip!
