I Ain't Gonna Paint No More!

I Ain't Gonna Paint No More, by Karen Beaumont

I thought this book was a good example of Voice, because of the way the little boy exaggerates everything he says. He had his own exciting personality, which made it exciting to read. What will he paint next? His head? His leg? The illustrations made the book even more interesting to look at.

6+1 trait Voice

The book I chose for the 6+1 trait was Goldilocks and the Three Bears by James Marshall. This book is full of dialogue and is a little different from the original version. I hope you like it :).
