About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking how their favorite stories are made or shows a budding interest in creating their own drawings and tales. This charming guide demystifies the physical and creative components of a book, from the cover and spine to the characters and 'The End.' It is an invitation to transition from a passive listener to an active participant in the world of literacy. Through the enthusiastic Parsley Rabbit, children explore the anatomy of storytelling with a sense of wonder and pride. It is perfectly pitched for preschoolers and early elementary students who are beginning to see books as objects of craft as much as sources of entertainment. By the final page, your child will likely feel empowered to pick up a crayon and start their own first 'masterpiece.'
