review 1: Great book about children's picture book writing. I found the writing exercises peppered throughout the book to be very helpful. I particularly appreciated Paul's discussions on voice and perspective, rhythm and plotting, and character development. I'm not trained in creative writing per se, but I found the creative writing component of the book to be stronger than what I've found in other children's book writing/publishing books. I do wish there was more focus on the publication aspect, as it is very challenging to get the attention of mainstream children's publishing houses.
review 2: Sebuah buku panduan penulisan buku kanak-kanak yang sangat mudah, berkesan dan tidak terlalu mengajar-ajar. Contoh dan teknik yang dikemukakan boleh diaplikasi untuk bentuk-bent
... moreuk penulisan yang lain juga. Masih wajar dibaca oleh calon penulis/penulis mapan yang menulis genre lain selain menulis untuk kanak-kanak. Panduannya dimulakan daripada membina asas penulisan daripada idea, membina struktur cerita, bahasa dan disudahkan dengan cara menghantar manuskrip buku kanak-kanak. Juga disertakan apa yang perlu dilakukan setelah manuskrip dihantar dan bagaimana mencari idea-idea baharu. less
