Once upon a time, in Wisconsin, there lived a woman named Valerie Marsh. She loved to tell stories. In fact, she loved it so much, and she became so good at it, that she was able to perform a trick that was (almost!) magic. This was "single-handedly keeping two hundred children quiet in the lunch-room. " When Valerie decided to write down some of her stories, she got her friend Patrick Luzadder to draw pictures, step-by-step. This is because "the Inuit people devised a unique storytelling method that" involves carving pictograms in snow with a knife. The story, you should know by now! Here are the directions for drawing:
Draw 1, half moon.
Draw 2, half moon.
Draw 3, and 4, rectangles
Draw 5, frowning eyebrows
Draw 6, faces of frowning stepsisters.
Draw 7, bowl of food
Draw 8, steam from bowl
Draw 9, pole and fire
Note: This is a really cool book for use with classes of children ages PK-2.
