ch 14. There's different types of genres including contemporary fiction, poetry and traditional literature. And picture books cut across all genres including nonfiction, fiction, fantasy, biography and poetry so it's a good idea to share examples of fine children's books to teach about writing different genres and how to use literary devices.
Marley A Dog Like No Other by John Grogan. This book is about a couple that adopts a white lab. This dog gets into all kinds of trouble but the couple love him and continues to keep him in their family until his death. This is a chapter book intended for 3 or 4 graders. There's a movie about Marley as well.
Football Hero by Tim Green. This book is about a football hero in college who is about to be courted to the NFL, that's big time. He lives w/his uncle who won't let him play because he needs him to clean floors and toilets in his business while he conducts illegal gambling schemes with the mob.
