Publisher's Synopsis
Three Little Gnomes in the Land of the Painted Sky; Luna in a Sticky Situation is a fanciful tale about three gnomes who live life to its fullest. They appreciate the beautiful and enchanting world around them as they explore the Land of the Painted Sky. In this adventure, the gnomes anticipate the night blooming of the amazing moonflowers, but end up encountering a difficult situation facing another creature in their world. (In reality, the author actually observed a moth trapped in a blooming moonflower, the inspiration for this story.)
Three Little Gnomes in the Land of the Painted Sky is a book with a purpose. Not only will it ignite children's imaginations, it also will teach them to write their own narrative stories using a model called a Five Sentence Story. In a Five Sentence Story the five sentences make a complete story. The character, setting, problem and solution are all included in those five sentences. By adding a few more sentences under each topic sentence, the story becomes more interesting, and the Five Sentence Story will become a Five Paragraph Story. This 8.5" X 11" workbook has five charming illustrations perfect for coloring. Additionally, blank pages and templates are provided to guide young writers in creating and illustrating their own story.
