Jack David, The Noisiest Kid in the Class (Tell and Show™ Books) - Tapa blanda

For ages 5 and up, Jack David, The Noisiest Kid in the Class is an illustrate-it-yourself Tell and Show™ book.

Drawing pictures can help a young child understand and remember what a story is about. An older child — or a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle — may enjoy illustrating the book for a younger one. Either way, the result will be a one-of-a-kind keepsake to be enjoyed again and again.

Jack David has a hard time sitting still and being quiet in school, but he shines when his class takes a walk in the woods. At home in this natural environment, he shows his classmates some of the everyday wonders of the forest. And when they begin to think there’s a bear around, Jack David knows just what to do.

This book has the story on the left-hand pages, and the right-hand pages are colorfully bordered "canvases" to draw on. This isn't exactly a book with no pictures, though. Not all children will know what a chrysalis or a salamander looks like, or a red-tailed hawk, or a hawk's nest. So, small photos of these and other wonders of the woods appear on the left-hand pages for reference.

Drawings can be simple or elaborate. Pencils, colored pencils, colored pens, and crayons work well.

At the end of the book, following the story, a professional illustrator offers kids a fascinating tip about working with color.

Want a story about a noisy, nature-savvy girl instead of a boy? Ann Marie, The Noisiest Kid in the Class (ISBN 978-0-9893290-1-9) is the same story as Jack David, but with a girl as the hero.

Just as your kids finally got it about not drawing in books, here comes Jack David! For ages 5 and up, Jack David, The Noisiest Kid in the Class is a Tell and Show™ book, designed to foster imagination, creativity, and just plain fun.

This book has the text on the left-hand pages, along with color photos of “wonders” in the woods. On the right-hand pages are captions and colorful borders to frame the drawings to be added to the book. Drawings can be simple or elaborate. Pencils, colored pencils, and crayons work well, or pens that don’t smear or soak through the pages.
