Description
Author Lois Lowry is better known for her more serious writing (Number the Stars, The Giver), so a story starring a unique little girl with a talent for story telling is both unexpected and delightful! As you read about the main character, you suddenly realize that you are being taught how to tell a story! It might be the cleverest thing ever! As her classmates frequently interrupt her story telling with distracting details, Gooney Bird explains the elements of a good story, and carries on until the end. I didn't catch onto what was happening at first, but when I realized, I just had to finish the story! Kids will get a chuckle and adults will see the lesson – thank you Lois Lowry for your sneaky teaching method! ~Sara
