About the Author:
Charlotte Guillain has written nearly 100 books, both fiction and non-fiction. Some of her best-selling titles for Raintree include the 'Space' and 'Growing Up' series. Among her forthcoming titles are Pandarella and Goldiclucks and the Three Bears in the 'Animal Fairy Tails' series, and 'The Frilly Goats Fluff' which will be published by Franklin Watts in June 2012. Before writing children's books, Charlotte worked as a bookseller, a teacher of English as a Foreign Language, and an editor.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 4-8-Brief offerings with concise sentences clearly explain different types of writing and how students can craft personal work. This visually striking series contains many graphics and photos, bright background pages, and colorful sidebars. Each volume includes the helpful features "Text Around You," which provides real-world examples of nonfiction writing, and "Text Tips!" Three titles also include "Text in History" sidebars, which, except for one focusing on Roald Dahl, highlight authors or incidents beyond readers' scope. The reference to Woodrow Wilson during World War II in Persuasive Writing is a glaring error. The distinctive features of each type of writing are outlined, and students will learn how to create compositions such as autobiographies, essays, and game rules. VERDICT These quick reads will be beneficial in creative writing and journalism units.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
