Writer Abroad was up at 4 a.m. this morning reading
Goodnight, Moon, Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?, and Corduroy to Baby M. Some
of these books were read at least five times in a row. (Note: Writer Abroad usually reads on demand.)

Children's books can teach us a lot about good writing |
Most writers don't study books for very young children in order to improve their writing. But, as Writer Abroad discovered, studying the short story (the 200-word version) is possibly the best way to learn about good writing.
Writing should have rhythm.
Great example: ABC by Dr. Seuss
The story should have a forward momentum.
(The words should beg you to finish them, even after the
tenth reading in a row...)
Great example: Barnyard Dance by Sandra Boynton
There should be a lesson.
Great example: Little Pea by Amy Krouse Rosenthal
Parallel construction is nice. Especially when it's done with
humor too.
Great example: But Not the Hippopotamus by Sandra Boynton
Ok fellow writers, Writer Abroad needs a nap! Anyone else have examples of what a great children's book can teach us?
Good books bear a lot of re-reading! When my lot were tiny, there were some books I would happily re-read a gazillion times and others I wanted to throw across the room after one read.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more. There are some books Baby M has that are all gimmick and no good writing. Those we just "pet" the pages or whatever and move on to actually read the good ones!
ReplyDeleteYou have a pic of Five Silly Monkeys, which is a terrible book. Each page the monkey count changes. Don't try to have your kid count the monkeys cause the text doesn't match the picture. I just thought it was weird that you used this picture with an article about children's books teaching us.
ReplyDeleteBut how did artist aggressive handbags and broad replica handbags become accessories? Handbags,admitting accepting a applied function,are embellishments and adorning in nature.They add abyss and blush to louis vuitton replica an outfit,giving it an character it did not acquire inherently.But added than that,abundant handbags emphasizes the acceptable characteristics of its user'”especially if the user chooses the appropriate backpack according to her physique type,accouterment preference,and even her personality.Anyone who knows gucci replica how accessories plan that the best earrings and necklaces,for instances,can accompany out the best characteristics of a wearer.For instance,the appropriate blush of earrings or necklaces could accompany out the eyes of the wearer and,obviously,this is benign if the wearer has absolutely admirable eyes.This is how handbags plan too.Also,the use while a baby backpack would maker her attending bigger than she already is.But,of course,this would alone plan if the being application the backpack knows how to hermes replica mix and bout the backpack according to her physique admeasurement and her outfit.Blush and designs aswell play a allotment here,back there may be assertive designs that would belie what the accouterments of the woman is aggravating to do.Many humans may anticipate that artist aggressive handbags and broad replica handbags won't plan as abundant accessories because they are alone imitations of the absolute thing.

It would for the most part be taken care of as a bank credit extension and the present loaning criteria for such a bank advance would be: more than 12 business leaser accounts reporting positively with a 6 month least installment history on those records. Likewise, a 80 PayDex score, and two years in business from the date of fuse. www.aaa1autotitleloans.com/chicago
