This is a nice story about the writing process and about autobiographies. As an elementary teacher, I think this would be a great book to introduce a new writing unit or to take away the intimidation of writing at the beginning of the year. I could definitely find a place for this book in my Grade 3 classroom and would recommend it to other teachers!
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book!

In the sequel to A Squiggly Story, the child gets an assignment to write a story about himself. He explores other children's ideas. Some of the illustrations and text were missing from my copy, but overall it is a good story about using your imagination and just trying something new, without worrying about being "great" at it yet, as well as the additional new theme of learning to express who you are and your interests. I did not enjoy this one quite as much as the original, but I still feel like it shares a positive message and was entertaining while teaching children about writing - and although there are many picture books about reading, there are not quite that many about writing.
Note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.

I received a copy of Another Squiggly Story by Andrew Larsen and Mike Lowery from Kids Can Press in exchange for an honest review.
A young boy is tasked with writing a story about himself in class and he begins to think about who he is. With the help of his sister and friend, he is able to start putting ideas together about the parts of him that make up who he is and he learns that he is writing an autobiography. This is a fun book to read and perhaps get young children to also start discovering their identities and may inspire them to start writing their own stories about themselves.
