Some Book Trailers Make Nancy Jealous
August 19th, 2010 by Nancy
Have you heard of a not-so-little feature on our site called the Mystery Book Theater? Hopefully, yes. Because we make a couple of them a month.
Well, Karen recently showed me to some book trailers made by kids โ and whoa, they’re really good! I’m totes jealous*… especially since I’ve been slaving away, drawing all of these Mystery Book Theaters for every Kidsmomo theme!
Check out these book trailers:
Amazing, huh? Inspired by these book trailers, I think Kidsmomo will be taking a stab at this video style! First up: our upcoming Mystery Book Theater for mythology-inspired books. So make sure to check back next Tuesday for our super-duper-fancy-schmancy awesome book trailer.

Nancy seems to be complaining about illustrating MBTs in this post, but where else does she get the glorious opportunity to draw someone drowning in puke?
*I don’t usually say the phrase “totes jealous.” Forgive me. It just exited my brain, spilled out onto the keyboard, entered this blog post, and now there’s no turning back.

Ann Burg! Thank you SO much for your comment! But we can’t take any of the credit. It all goes to teacher Tess Alfonsin and her awesome students. You can check out her website for other reading educators here: http://www.recycleyourreads.com/
I am waiting for school to start so I can check out All the Broken Pieces. I am SURE they have it. CERTAIN. POSITIVE.
I am so excited to see my student’s work here! Ann, I am reading your incredibly poignant book aloud this year. What a gift you have given us all!
Tess ~ please tell your students how impressed I was with their work ๐
