출판사 설명
“Seems destined to help jump-start classroom writing assignments.” —Publishers Weekly
"A good starting point for creativity in various forms.” —School Library Journal
“This imaginative book is likely to inspire more Idea Jars in classrooms.” —Booklist
From the author of Warning: Do Not Open This Book comes a lively story about a teacher’s special jar where her students keep their story ideas—but watch out when those ideas go on the loose!
The idea jar is where students keep their ideas—anything from a Viking to a space robot to a giant dragon. These ideas can be combined to make new exciting stories. But watch out when the ideas escape the jar—they might get a little rowdy! Adam Lehrhaupt’s newest picture book is sure to inspire creativity, imagination, and adventure.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An unseen student narrates Lehrhaupt's celebration of storytelling creativity, pointing out the teacher's Idea Jar. "We keep our story ideas in it," the child explains scraps of paper with words such as dragon, robot, pirate, and Viking written on them. "There's no such thing as a bad story idea," the student continues, and many ways to tell a tale: "You can write it. Draw it. Talk it." At one point, a red-bearded Viking climbs out of the jar, offers pointers ("That ship should be way bigger"), and generally advocates for Vikings to be part of every story. After the mischievous Viking tips the jar over, a dragon, robot, and other creatures explode into the room, creating chaos that can only be resolved by a story that brings the ideas together. Pilutti's goofy visual comedy speech balloons with smart-alecky comments, ocean water flooding the classroom provides laughs, and although Lehrhaupt doesn't really explore or explain how ideas come together to create a story, it seems destined to help jump-start classroom writing assignments.
