Publisher's Synopsis
This book was the result of an art project. The Art Appreciation Program is an enrichment program sponsored by the Rooster Springs Elementary PTA. The 2008/2009 program was entitled "Sketches Around the World" exploring the extraordinary connection between illustrators, authors and stories from around the world. The March art project lesson plan requested that our students and teachers develop a story line regarding two little boys named Charlie Lotts and Dino Studebaker and their adventures throughout their elementary careers. The art docents volunteers would sketch the paragraph scene during our art workshop training and later taught the students how to paint the illustrations using water colors. Our students were very inspired by this story and enjoyed the process of developing the story line, the interpretation of their words and painting of the illustrations. Charlie and Dino took on a life of their own and became a wonderful story of mischievousness adventures.
