You know the importance of using mentor texts when teaching author's crafts to your young writers. But how do you - a busy teacher with only so many hours in a day - find great mentor texts? With so many children's books available and so little time to peruse them all, matching books to writers' workshop minilessons remains a challenge. Here is the resource to make your search for just the right books a little easier. Authors Susan Ehmann and Kellyann Gayer bring you a resource built out of their love of great children's books, their vast experience in the classroom, and their passion for teaching young writers. The heart of this book is an extensive annotated bibliography that details examples of 27 author's crafts found in 150 high-quality children's books. But there's so much more! This book can serve as your go-to writers' workshop resource by providing you with. This is a quick reference to turn to when you need to find the right mentor text to teach a specific author's craft, such as alliteration, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, personification, rhyme, voice, and many more.

It includes tools to help you match the books you already have in your classroom or school library with the crafts they demonstrate. In these pages you'll discover engaging fiction and nonfiction children's books and ideas for using them to their maximum potential as teaching tools.
