Cider Press Hill

Delicious

If you are a fan of Chris Van Allsburg (The Polar Express), you might love The Mysteries of Harris Burdick. A series of 14 black and white Van Allsburg illustrations, each comes with a title and a prompt. Perfect for storytellers or aspiring writers with a lot of kid left in them. See the illustrations and prompts here. Captain Tory kind of intrigues me.

I adore that book. I used to use it in creative writing lessons when I was studen teaching.

I’d been unfamiliar with it until the lad brought it home last night. He’d seem it someplace and has had a longstanding hero worship for Van Allsburg. He special ordered it at the local bookstore. I sat down to look through it last night and was totally captivated. It immediately taps into a rich undercurrent of imagination. Stories have been percolating ever since. What a great teaching tool!
