[LM_NET] NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT: R is for Research + TLA

[Toni Buzzeo <tonibuzzeo@TONIBUZZEO.COM>]

Dear Colleagues,

I'm pleased and excited to introduce my new children's book, R IS FOR 
RESEARCH which is newly published by Upstart Books and is featured on 
the front of the new UpstartBooks catalog.  For those who are coming 
to TLA next week, I'll be signing and chatting at the Upstart booth 
on Wednesday, April 16 from 1:00-3:00.  Please stop by and say hi!

Rather than tell you about R IS FOR RESEARCH myself, I'd like to 
share a review written by Ruth Culham, author of the 6+1 Traits of 
Writing and national literacy consultant:

"In this timely new picture book from stellar children's author Toni 
Buzzeo, readers explore the inner workings of the research 
report.  Written in alphabet style, the clever text hums long with a 
lovely rhythm and cadence.  I'm a cat lover, so I couldn't help but 
fall in love with the idea of following the steps of producing and 
presenting a research report using cats as the model.  There's just 
so much to love about this book.  Students of all ages will find it 
informative and clever.  Teachers and librarians will appreciate the 
lessons, graphic organizers, and tips found in the supplement that 
accompanies the text.  Use this book to help kids research a topic of 
their own (even if it isn't about cats!), develop PowerPoint 
presentations, and present the information to the class using today's 
technology.  This book deserve a place in every teacher's classroom 
where thoughtful and original research writing is a goal." ~ Ruth Culham

Best,
Toni
