Adventures with Zap introduces the magic of storytelling through playful writing practice. Children build skills and confidence while creating a precious keepsake! Writing coach Diane Landy brings years of elementary and preschool classroom experience to this one-of-a-kind book, in which each writing and drawing prompt is carefully crafted around a comic story. Kids will:
- create characters, settings, and action scenes
- bring pictures to life with words
- brainstorm when stuck
- write thoughts and dialogue
- use "power words"
- express feelings and wishes.
