[MOSAIC] Useful Resources

[Nancy Hagerty]

I have used Saving Samantha by Robyn Smith (?) and illustrated by her
husband Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen.  They are both nature lovers and
have come to write beautiful stories based upon real events in their
lives.  This particular story deals with a fox.  Robyn writes the story
on one page and then on each opposite page there is a detailed journal
of the true events and the author's feelings.  I have used this with my
first graders and they LOVE it.  I use all of their books to model
techniques in my writer's workshop.

Enjoy!

I think there's a book by Arthur Dorros about animal tracks. Not sure of
the
title, but I know that's the author (okay, I'm pretty sure that's the
author!!).

I like the Boy Scout idea, too!
