Ever since I watched Marcell The Shell With Shoes On by Jenny Slate and Dean Fleischer-Camp I have been trying to find a way to show this video in class with an educational purpose. Yesterday I was doing my monthly Powells bookstore child's department drool fest when I came upon this...
...that's right, it's now a picture book!!!!!!
We read it this morning to much acclaim and giggling. This will serve as an example of a great character. Marcell views life much differently than the rest of us. It fascinating to think of all the possibilities. Life as a shell, what would it be like? What other characters could we create, large or small? I am sure there will be many fun characters to read about in our writing.
