Title: . Ming-Shu and Her Cat ... A You Draw Book Interesting Read ... Recommended ... 5 stars The Review Book includes a vocabulary page to accompany each story, Series of stories with room for illustrations to be added: Ming-Shu and Her Cat, Time For Fishing Fun, Ming-Shu Visits Mr Lee’s Farm, Nine-In-One or One-In-Nine, and discussion questions at the end of each story. Each of the stories is sure to appeal to children. Writer Danes is a curriculum developer and writer for English Language Schools in Taiwan, she puts her expertise and experience to good use in this little 42 page work for children. The four tales found in Ming-Shu and Her Cat are long enough for children to become involved, while short enough to read at a setting. I especially like the notion of allowing children space to add their own illustrations to the book. The vocabulary and discussion pages are a added plus for classroom teachers and home use alike. Ming-Shu and Her Cat is a read to book for the younger set ages 3-6, Vocabulary used is such that most youngsters in the 6-8 group should be able to read for themselves with a little explanation of the vocabulary pages. Discussion pages are a added plus for helping children nail down some of their thoughts regarding each of the stories. Ming-Shu and Her Cat is a book I would be happy to use in my own classroom. This is a good sturdy book with hardcover, and good quality paper pages. Happy to recommend. Genre: children’s Author: .
