Description

<p>Mice &amp; Spiders &amp; Webs...Oh My! Is your child a good listener? Rosemary is a little girl who is worried about returning to school after her teacher warns the class that they would soon have some mice, spiders, and webs in the classroom. Could Rosemary have misunderstood something? How can mice and spiders and webs belong at school? Full of &quot;Computer Speak,&quot; this story introduces young readers to basic computer terms in a delightful way! See if your child can discover the mystery of the misunderstood words, and learn about the fun of computers with Rosemary. This is the seventh rhyming children's book by this award-winning author, whose other bestselling books include My Fingerpaint Masterpiece, Manner-Man, Gimme-Jimmy, The Magic Word, Peter and the Whimper-Whineys, and Santa's Birthday Gift. Former teacher Sherrill S. Cannon has won twenty-eight awards for her six previous rhyming books, and is also the author of seven published and internationally performed plays for elementary school children. She has been called &quot;a modern day Dr. Seuss&quot; by GTMA Review. &quot;I love to teach, and this book teaches basic computer terms in a fun way. I am retired and spend six months of the year with my husband of 55 years, traveling from coast to coast and sharing books along the way. I grew up in The Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. , where my father was the manager. I'm the original Eloise!&quot; Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/SherrillSCannon</p>

Story Behind The Book

I've completed more than a dozen novels and I've helped other novelists find their way. I noticed time and time again that a lot of them were making the job of writing a lot harder for themselves than it needed to be - even experienced authors. For instance, many writers paint themselves into a corner because they are tackling the wrong problem at the wrong time. They get blocked because the critical parts of their brain are inhibiting their creativity. Or their overactive imagination is preventing them seeing a straightforward solution. Or they need to step back and see the whole structure instead of worrying about the detail. Over the years I've developed a method that that helps to make the whole writing process a lot more creative and fun. It draws on techniques from Hollywood scriptwriting, improvisational drama, sports psychology and project management - because experts in these fields have already solved some of the problems that novel-writers encounter. And not only will it help you finish the novel, it will help you write a book that is properly planned and polished - and more likely to succeed in today's market.
