Scribble Stones

Scribble Stones is formatted to be read in landscape mode (holding your device horizontally) where it takes up the entire screen. Words and pictures display together on the screen like a traditional picture book. A lot of self published Kindle authors can't be bothered to format their work and it displays like a mess with bits of text on one page and an image on a small part of the screen on another, so I always like to take the time to point out when authors care about their reader's experience and their own work enough to take the time to format it.Basically a stone looks forward to being picked for an exciting helping others career, but it is picked last, and ends up a paperweight. It doesn't like this and comes up with a way to help others.

I would recommend this book to anyone. The cover also doubles as a poster which I taped to my board after our read aloud. Here are our scribble stones!

A fan of this author from her very first book, this one is no exception. Simple, engaging, creative and adorable! My artsy/mama/teacher heart is happy!

I love how this stone comes from the bottom to help others! A great message for kids, plus there's a fun collaborative project idea in the back! Diane's best book yet!

Being a huge fan of Ms. Alber's work, or rather my niece and nephew being huge fans, we had to check out her latest creation. Scribble stones is a great story about a stone that's picked last, but discovers meaning in his individuality.It's a great read for children with another great message and lesson. Very fun, and the activities offer a great alternative to uninspiring screen time.
