Ice Cream - What Flavor Would You Be?

Ice Cream - What Flavor Would You Be?

I finished my fourth writing prompt for Teachers Pay Teachers today!  "What Flavor Would You Be?" is a question that is often asked by a fellow author, Eric Simmons when he attends book signings.  Eric Simmons wrote the book, We're All Ice Cream.  I'm Just a Different Flavor.  I used his story this year with my students to "spring board" my writing prompt, and the students produced wonderful written works.  It is an awesome example of a fictional narrative for children! 

Eric and I have attended a couple of book signings with our families and he always amazed me with his approach.  "If you were an ice cream flavor, what flavor would you be?", he asked approaching readers.  He never failed to follow up with, "Have your seen Jeremy's book?"  Many times he promoted me just as much as he promoted his own work. 

Eric Simmons is not only an imaginative author, but a great friend, husband, and father who thinks of others before his thinks of himself.

This writing prompt is dedicated to Eric Simmons,...


PS- What flavor would I be?  I would be a scoop of mint chocolate chip, a scoop of chocolate, and a scoop of butter pecan, because I am a little NUTTY!
