A BEGINNING, A MUDDLE, AND AN END: THE RIGHT WAY TO WRITE WRITING


Avon the snail loves to read!! After reading so many stories of adventure, he is now ready to write one of his own. How will Avon begin his story? He decides to begin the story with the word "Something" but after that, he is at a complete lost. Avon doesn't give up!! Like many beginning writers, he tries very hard. And his good friend Edward the ant is there to support and encourage him during his first writing experience.

With more witty dialogue than Avi's first Avon and Edward story, readers will cheer Avon on as he and Edward go off on another adventure.

Best for students in the 4th grade and up.

THE END OF THE BEGINNING: BEING THE ADVENTURES OS A SMALL SNAIL( AND AN EVEN SMALLER ANT)

Avon, the snail, loves to read. After reading so many enjoyable stories he decides to leave his comfortable home and go on an adventure. On his journey, he befriends an ant named Edward. The two develop a wonderful friendship that will make Avon's adventure a memorable one. Avi's chapter book for 3rd graders and up is a good introduction to witty dialogue between the characters. The illustrations are delightful!! I enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end.
