Mentor Text Your Way to Funnier Picture Book Writing
<p>Writing humorous picture books can be daunting, especially when trying to get both children and adult readers to laugh. Author Tara <span class="il" style="">Luebbe</span> has found that the best way to face the challenge is to, well, read a ton of funny books. So, in this class, we will dissect an array of mentor texts that have mastered this fine art. But since humor is not one-size-fits-all, we’ll analyze it from a variety of angles, from sidesplitting concepts to hilarious voice to that age-old favorite, potty humor…all with the goal of giving you some tools to use in your own work.<br></p>
