review 1: So where do the ideas from stories come from? Miss Brooks' Story Nook is a great read aloud for teaching and talking about ideas for stories-- getting them started, keeping them going and finding the right ending. In the end, we see the power of stories to change less than desirable circumstances in one's life. Bottner and Emberly did the companion book Miss Brooks Loves Books about the need for choice and good fit books. Both titles have a place in a primary readers/writers workshop.
review 2: Please read “Miss Brooks Loves Books” before this one, especially if you’re using this as a bedtime story! My five-year-old granddaughter was a bit unsettled by the snake, even though she’s not afraid of them. I scrambled to find another soothing book before exp... moreecting her to sleep peacefully. On the other hand, this would make a great daytime read aloud! Reading this first may send students to the original title to find out more about this energetic librarian. However, she did say she liked it, and we had just had a conversation about being a librarian earlier in the day. I told her I liked being a librarian to help people share stories, and that was the idea in this book! This will be a great book to read to classes, and to help students identify events in their own lives about which they can write - especially the reluctant writers. Full color illustrations with pen outlines are fun, and white background keeps the readers attention on the what the text says. Some pages have as many as six frames, others are full page, and pull the reader along with the action. Miss Brooks is an inspiration to every children’s librarian! less
