I picked up the picture book, Ebenezer Has a Word for Everything by Chelsea H. Rowe because I could easily tell it
would have a good writing connection to it and I could possibly get an idea
from it for an upcoming writing program.
Summary: Ebenezer
collects words. No one appreciates his efforts until he meets a friend who
writes stories and could use a word or two.
Ages: 4-8 years
"Wow! A word collection! Can I see it?" That was the day Ebenezer and Fitzgerald became friends.
I enjoyed the story of Ebenezer
finding a friend because of his love for words and how his friend has a love of
stories. This was a great book for a friendship and a writing theme. I liked
how the words were bolded, matched the illustrations, and encouraged more thinking
and learning. This wouldn’t be a book I would read for a storytime, but it
would be one that could be used for a writing lesson or one-on-one reading.
