This has some fab ideas for fun, artsy book reports. Granted with the increasing focus on standards so-called "fluff" is quickly been edged out in favor of more formal types of assessment but I think using art has considerable merit.

This book is great. My only complaint would be that there are not enough options, especially for fiction books. If she had tripled the offerings, it would be about perfect. Meant to use in a typical classroom setting, for homeschool use I usually skipped the worksheet and just had a little conference to assign the book report. What resulted are my favorite of Eamon’s productions of the year, including the typical paper quilt, mini story book, and postcards, among others.
