Idea Jar by Adam Lehrhaupt - OPTIONAL

Lehrhaupt, Adam Idea Jar, illustrated by Deb Pilutti.  PICTURE BOOK.  Simon, 2018.  $18.  9781481451666

The idea jar has lots of great jumping off points for all kinds of stories.  Including stories about Vikings.  But be careful to create a story to weave your ideas together, otherwise it will be just a jumble.

This book was not what I thought is was going to be when I saw the cover.  The wordage is so sparse, that a teacher would have to do a lot of extra explaining to make this useful as a book about plotting.  I think I prefer Ralph Tells a Story by Abby Hanion for this particular idea.  For casual reading, the illustraions are a lot of fun.
