Review & #Excerpt – Scribble & Author by Miri Leshem-Pelly @MiriLeshem #children #4paws
Title: SCRIBBLE & AUTHOR
Author: Miri Leshem-Pelly
Publisher: Kane Miller Books
Pages: 32
Genre: Children’s Picture Book
Scribble & Author is written as a dialogue between the main character, Scribble, and the author who created her.
Scribble’s journey starts on a peaceful shore called THE BEGINNING, continues to the rough, adventurous MIDDLE, and leads finally to the gate of THE ENDING, but it’s not at all what Scribble expected… Scribble is a scribble and Author is an author, but who really gets to tell the tale?
A picture book about finding your own voice, making your own decisions, and writing your own story.

Wow, Author, you’ve created a beautiful beginning!

Review
Scribble is a character in this story that helps guide us on how to write a story. Scribble helps set up each phase of the story and how it might be written or things to think about for that part of the story.
The book has a quirky side to it in how Scribble approaches each section of the book – will it be scary? happy? sad? Anything is possible as long as the writer doesn’t let challenges or problems stand in the way.
I thought this was a good way to help new writers create their story and is good for anyone whether they are young or old.
We give it 4 paws up.
