This was a cute book that I think many teachers would enjoy reading to their students. It's about a girl who decides to enter a contest to write the "best" story. She consults her family and friends and they all tell her different things that make up a good story. Because the girl doesn't believe the story is ever "just right" she rewrites it so that it comes from her own heart. I think this book sends a good message to students -- that there isn't one thing that makes a good book. A good book is one that you are proud of and that comes from your heart. I really enjoyed reading this book because it reminded me of when I was younger and I entered different writing contests. My favorite stories that I wrote were ones that I was able to choose the toipc and the words and pictures just poured out. After I got started it was difficult to stop writing!
