Hello, all,

It isn't always easy to find a great example for Sentence Fluency, but
today I finally got around to reading some of the books which came in a
recent book order.  There are so many good books to share!

The book I read which immediately impressed me as a super example of this
trait was Cynthia Rylant's _Cookie Store Cat_.  It came with a cat shaped
cookie cutter.

The sentences are terrific!  We counted some on the last few pages of the
book.  They went from 12 words to 53 words!  One of my students was poised
to write excellent word choices and we found only one we really wanted in
the book, but we were very impressed with the sentences.

Good reading!

Valerie, if you are still on the list, e-mail me please. I tried your old
address and it bounced.  Thank you.
