My Name is Not Isabella (with Book Trailer and Activity Links)

 

I recently posted a review (which you can read here) of a wonderful book, titled My Name is Not Isabella.  The star, Isabella, is a girl with a wonderful imagination, and big dreams.  The author, Jennifer Fosberry, is launching a national book tour this month.  

I was peeking around the publisher's website today, and came across a very cute companion classroom activity -- a printable poster, instructions, and "dream cards," on which students write their big dreams, to be displayed together on a wall.  You can find the printables on the Sourcebooks website here.

I also wanted to share this promo video for the book.

Here's a little confession.  I review a fair number of books here, and many publishers email me book trailers.  This is the first one I've ever watched!  I guess I have felt a bit like a book is a book, and a video is a video, and never the twain shall meet.  But, I am clearly behind the times.  I accepted my first e-book for review today, and I've started watching book trailers.  The video contains a great mini lesson on how an illustration goes from concept sketch to print.  Check it out and let me know what you think.
