I'm excited to have the privilege of posting Bonus Links and Mentor Text Author Studies.   Here are some incredible posts that I found this month.
Picture
Marcie Flinchum Atkins' post: 10 for 10: Top 10 Favorite Picture Books to Use as Mentor Texts for Word Choice, gives fantastic examples for specific types of language.

Adrienne Gear's post, Celebrating my Favorite PB's for Intermediate/Middles Grades is a great place to start if you're writing Picture Books for the older crowd.

If you're looking to write a great read aloud, Barnes and Noble has a post, The 10 Most Fun Picture Books to Read Aloud, to get your juices flowing.


Christy Mihaly gives us a list of books to use as mentor texts if we're writing about difficult topics in her post, Tackling Tough Topics...With Picture Books.

What posts have helped you in your mentor text journey this month?

Carrie, the link to: " Adrienne Gear's post, Celebrating my Favorite PB's for Intermediate/Middles Grades" doesn't work. It comes up - "About: blank." Just thought you should know. :-)

Thanks for sharing, Manju. I really enjoy author interviews, too, and Kevin Henkes is spectacular. WAITING is such a sweet new story.

Thanks for the links, Kirsti! I was excited to see that you're joining Carrie as co-coordinator. My daughters are crazy about The Great Fuzz Frenzy and I had the pleasure of learning from Janet Stevens this summer in CO at our regional SCBWI illustrator intensive. My favorite part of this book is the neon green fuzz--Janet told us that she picked the fuzz off of real tennis balls and glued it to her artwork. Amazing! She also said that years later, she is still finding bits of fuzz around her house! Ha!
