Arm Chair BEA: From Picture Books to Young Adult

Arm Chair BEA

I love children's picture books.  I actually spend more money buying physical picture books then I do adult fiction/non-fiction.  I am the mother of three children who are all under three and I love to share picture books with them.  I also use them to teach English to middle school aged children.  Picture books used in middle school, you say questioningly, yes I say!  Check out this great lesson using a wonderful picture book entitled The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, which was also turned into an Academy Award winning short film.  Check out our previous post about The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore.  Click HERE to view the lesson, which I used with The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore.
