StephanieZ Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 It is a very readable account of how a couple ran book club discussions for 2nd - 5th graders. It walks you through how to lead such a discussion, identifiying the theme/protaganist/antagonist/setting/climax/etc in a very do-able way. It is very helpful to me. It's on amazon for more info.

plain jane Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Is it a book that is good to own or is getting it from the library sufficient? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, wow. I have heard the name several times too, but have for some reason never been curious at all. Now I'm glad the OP asked, because that sounds great! It has been added to my wishlist. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Uhura Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I always check out from the library first before buying any book. It has saved me a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothersweets Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Looks fascinating! I put it on my wish list, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiegirl Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Is it a book that is good to own or is getting it from the library sufficient? I got it from the library first but then quickly bought it. For me, it is something to have on hand to refresh my memory and inspire me every year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom3tn Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I got it from the library first but then quickly bought it. For me, it is something to have on hand to refresh my memory and inspire me every year or so. I agree, it's good to own. I bought a copy, then passed it on to someone else after I read it. Later I realized that I would like to read it again to refresh my memory, and bought another copy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
