Please Write in the Book by Mary Amato

 


I saw this book on the shelf and the title intrigued me.  The book is about a teacher who puts a book in the writing center and encourages the students to write in the book.  The only two rules are that the students should have fun and should sign there name.  The teacher says that she will read the book at the end of the month.  What follows is a humorous account of writings, new rules, attempts to hide the book, and finally a classroom collaboration on a humorous story.  The book was funny and an accurate representation of what might happen when you combine all the different personalities in the classroom in authoring a book.
