SHAWMUT HILLS ~ The Book With No Pictures

Oh. My. Goodness. 

I cannot express how much I loved reading this book to the kids last week! 

Can a book with no pictures really be that great? Yes.

The students (who initially thought it was an April Fool's joke) loved it so much, that I had to read it twice to most classes, and one of the teachers loved it so much, that he had to go out that night, and buy it!

Why do I think it's so great?

I believe that reading this book aloud to students will help them learn to find their inner voice when reading and writing. They will also learn that illustrations, while great, are not a necessity.

Most importantly, in my opinion, this book will help grown-ups remember how to be silly. Which will earn them the respect and adoration of the kid(s) that they are reading it to.

This book is genius. 

Enjoy!
