Review :
"This book helped bring my son's creative writing skills to a level I never thought it could be. He now wants to write books and learn more about writing, language arts, etc. He used to hate our daily writing activities, but this book brought out something great in him. Amy, home school mother
I really like this book because it made me think about the creative side of writing...Now I am learning to write about other things. I can describe how a rainy day smells like, and I can make up explanations of why leaves can't be purple instead of green, and lots of other kinds of things. I really like this book and would recommend this book to ny homeschooler. Samantha, 12, homeschool student
I really like the journal. It was very fun and I wish I could do the pages again. Every time I eat breakfast I think, "I can't wait to do that fun journal!" I would give this to all my family and friends! Sincerely, Jenna
I loved the journal. I like it cause you can draw and write in and put photos in it. It is the best journals I ever had.
Sincerely, Carly
What I liked about the journal is that it gives us a way to express ourselves in writing and drawing. It also lets us tell what we've been doing recently in life. You can tell about your family or friends. What you want to play with and things you dream about. It also helps me practice my art. Sincerely, Sarah
