The Stapler Caper,Used

Product Description Our award winning book The Stapler Caper has been honored with the coveted 2010 Teachers' Choice Award For the Family from Learning Magazine AND the 2010 Mom's Choice Award. Bridging education and entertainment, The Stapler Caper is a clever concept in the children's book industry. Few books have the ability to grow with the child, but The Stapler Caper, a hardcover, keepsake book, keeps up with young, curious minds. The pages are full of engaging, colorful illustrations, but no words. Kids use their imaginations to create a story as unique as the child writing it. Your child becomes the author of the story set in Pencil World. An exciting cast of characters named The Do Writes! set the stage for the child's imagination to take flight. The book was designed with thick sturdy pages to be written on in pencil and easily erased. The Stapler Caper entices children who love to write as well as those who struggle with writing! The best thing about this book is that no review can give away the ending. Whether on their own OR working with friends and family, children will easily be able to get their creative juices flowing. It also makes a great travel companion and the perfect gift! Review It is one thing to teach adults how to be creative it is another to teach children. Children don't come with experiences in hand to refer to. But children are very eager to make things up as they want them to be, I think it is the driving force to our nature, but for some reason we kill that nature as we get older. Cindy Ray's book The Stapler Caper is a great encouragement to independent thinking for children. Our schools and teaching systems don't generally allow for children to retain independent thoughts and perspectives to move ahead in life, instead they encourage wrote memory and doctrine. The Stapler Caper is a great big breathe of hope for creative encouragement and a whole new generation of thinkers. My own children were excited to see that they could interact with a book, not only just reading or solving a problem but inventing the story from beginning to end. I'm hoping it will help them see more of what my own book is about and the things I try and teach them, but then again, to them I'm just dad. Cindy's book is a great idea, well executed and inviting to jump start children who may not know where to start. And starting is half the battle. Great book! I encourage you to get Cindy's book for your young child (and one of mine for yourself). Review by Gary Unger: Author, Speaker, Advertising ConsultantThe Stapler Caper is Too Cute for Words Review My children love to draw and write their own books, creating stories, coloring and, well, anything involving paper, pencils and veritable drawing apparatuses. So when I showed them the book The Stapler Caper, my children became so excited, so much in fact, my 8yearold daughter squeaked like a girl. Or maybe she squeaked because she is a girl. Whatever ;) The Stapler Caper is a story in which your child is the author. Using the characters, The DoWrites (the names and characters are beyond cute), your child creates what they think is happening by following the illustrations and designing the story in the blank lines below the pictures on each page. They are the author! I have to stop here for a second and let you read about these characters. If this isn't enough to fall in love with this book, well, then, I won't be your friend anymore, so nyah! Ryan E. Racer plays write field for his baseball team and gets the lead out to erase crime. Bea Sharp corrects the wrongs of the world, loves making figure 8s while she skates, and dancing ballet where she is tops at staying on pointe. Sketch the Janitor might not be just a janitor, where he used to work for the President of Pencilvania Avenue. Are you dying of cuteness yet? No? Okay, here's more: The Pencipal has a spirit for knowledge that can't be broken who always gets to the point. This one I had to quote
