Dear Girls and Boys:
One time Flossie Fisher and her cat thought it would be fun to make valentines. Here is the picture story of how they did it.
Sincerely,
Helen Nyce
(The original letter from the illustrator has been modified.)
''Read'' with your eyes the series of events from top to bottom, left to right, to discover what happens to Flossie and her little companions below. Then, write in your own words a brief descriptive narrative describing based upon what you see. Below is a introductory sentence to help student begin there own narratives...
Flossie and cat are bored. What to do, what to do?
Over 100 years ago, Helene Nyce organized children's writing competitions for The Ladies' Home Journal. The magazine editors would include her silhouette cuts to illustrate a series of adventures for a little girl named Flossie. Children would then write a short story to accompany the illustrations and submit it through the mail to win a prize.
