[LM_NET] ELEM: Suggestion for 3rd grade book about storytelling / elements of a story

[Michelle Marino <mmarino@HUTCHISONSCHOOL.ORG>]

Hello All,

I am hoping you can give me your suggestions. I am looking for a (chapter) book 
that is appropriate for 3rd graders that has the theme of storytelling / elements 
of writing a story.  Usually the first book of the year our 3rd graders read is 
Gooney Bird
Greene.  They would like to change to a new book. They feel like Gooney Bird is a 
bit too "young" for our group. They are passing that down to 2nd grade and would 
like a book to replace that one. Something funny that will kick off the year 
getting the
girls interested that will hopefully get them interested in writing their own 
stories. We are an all girls school if that helps spark any ideas.

Thanks!
