About

I've been an illustrator for a long time, and have lately started to focus on promoting literacy for all age groups. My adaptations of Lewis Carroll's English classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland marry vivid images to the unabridged written word. This is the original word-for-word story that will suprise anyone who has only seen the movies, presented in a an innovative format that will engage even reluctant readers!

Description

<p>&quot;I am strong, and my flash is bright, And I will defend you and make things all right.&quot; These are the magic words to call upon Manner-Man - a superhero who can help control bullies and teach children ways to be considerate of others. Manner-Man arrives, shouting &quot;To the Rescue&quot;, helping children learn about sharing and warning about not 'hitting with words.' He teaches that if someone starts pushing, just shout out &quot;not nice!&quot; Meet the children who form the Manner-Man team and find out how to join! Manner-Man incorporates messages and characters found within some of Cannon's earlier books - helping children learn how to cope with bullies and look within themselves for their inner superhero! This is the fifth rhyming children's book by this award-winning author whose other bestselling books include Gimme-Jimmy, The Magic Word, Peter and the Whimper-Whineys and Santa's Birthday Gift. Former teacher Sherrill S. Cannon has won a dozen awards for her four previous rhyming books and is also the author of six published and internationally performed plays for elementary school children. She has been called &quot;a modern day Dr.Seuss&quot; - GMTA Review. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/SherrillSCannon</p>

Story Behind The Book

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was the first "real" book I read in elementary school. It inspired me to think outside my little world, and fostered a lifetime love for reading. When I got my first opportunity to see a dramatized television version, I was dismayed to see it was NOT true to the story. My disappointment compounded when I systematically discovered there were NO accurate adaptations of this Wonderful little book! So I adapted this, my own all-inclusive vision of what I'd read that had opened my youthful imagination. I want modern, visually driven audiences to meet the true Alice, so I designed this accurate adaptation to appeal to as many people as possible. Readers and visual learners/'non-readers' alike will enjoy it! This is my opportunity to more accurately present Lewis Carroll's true tale of Alice.
