The excitement was wonderful. 

We spent 45 minutes creating books each day. 

 Some children created a few books and 

some added onto their first book each day.  

When it was time to do something else 

Some of the children were asking if they

 could work on their books at learning centre time.

speech bubbles, a two page spread, different

 types of print, and punctuation.
