Customer Reviews
This amazing and irresistable book shows that maps are conceptual and visual organizers--and that they enable us to organize so much more than geographic space. Through the imagination of this remarkable young writer, we see how mapping can be used to teach young reader/writers the very concept of mapping--or of organizing ideas. Sara maps her favorite and dearest people and treasures--in the map of her heart. She maps her day, in thinking how we spend our time. She maps her stomach--what she loves to eat, and what's in there to please mom. These and other maps in the collection provide a wonderfully creative leaping off point for writing activities that involve mapping--activities even the youngest writers can handle. Everyone can map his/her face, desk, room, or day. Labels and written text can be used to enrich the writing, but they're not essential. It's easy to use and it's stimulating, too. This book should be in the classroom of every teacher K-5. Students LOVE it (so do adults), and the wealth of engaging writing activities it suggests makes it an excellent investment. How often do children get to see books written by other children? We can only hope Sara will write more! I recommend this book to every teacher and parent I talk or work with.
