[LM_NET] ELEM: New Picture Book Opportunity: ABIGAIL SPELLS by Anna Alter

[Toni Buzzeo <tonibuzzeo@TONIBUZZEO.COM>]

Hello Colleagues,

I've just heard about a great new opportunity for elementary 
librarians and wanted to share:


"E-L-E-" she began, but her mind went blank.

"F-" Her tummy felt funny.

"A-N-T," she said quickly.


Poor Abigail.  She loves, loves to S-P-E-L-L, but looses the school 
spelling bee and the chance to go onto the city finals.

Will her friend George be able to bring her back to the things she 
loves after such a disappointment?  Will she tell stories, pose for a 
painting, dance the cha-cha OR spell ever A-G-A-I-N?  Friendship, of 
course, can always bring us back in the E-N-D.

ANNA ALTER brings us a sweet, satisfying picture book about 
disappointment and friendship and a website full of classroom 
activities and online spelling games.

**GIVEAWAY** Random House has generously given 20 copies of the book 
to giveaway to LM_Net members and Anna Alter has a bundle of goodies 
for 20 more.

EMAIL mailing@curiouscity.net with your mailing address and the word 
you or your students most frequently M-I-S-S-S-P-E-L-L and you might 
just get a package in the mail.
