New from an international bestseller:Wreck This Journal has sold more than ten million copies and been published in thirty-eight foreign territories, igniting creativity worldwide. Now elementary school kids can join in the fun!
The joy of books: This is an intriguing exploration of what makes a book a book, and why books are uniquely satisfying.
The thrill of creativity: Keri is an expert at helping people get their creative juices flowing, and this is the first time she has brought that motivation to the picture book audience.
Classroom and library potential: Librarians have reported to Keri that they hold group wreckings with her adult books. That will also be a wonderful way to make this book a group activity, even in the classroom (where it would be part of a meaningful art or writing lesson).
