: My wife is an Educational Consultant (web site at www.ms-t-inc.com).
: She frequently needs to put together classroom handouts and teachers
: guides that are centered around the topic of "Guided Reading".
: Part of the Guided Reading process is to have the children re-write
: a specific children's book. Typically these books are the "picture
: book" type with no more than 16-20 pages. The children do their own
: drawing and add their own words taking the basic style of the book
: from the original. : The basic question is can a scanned picture of the cover of the book
: be used in these handouts? My wife wishes to publish a teacher's
: resource book containing more than 50 of these Guided Reading aids.
: This would result in using book titles from more than 50 authors and
: probably as many book illustrators. In a way this resource guide
: would promote the purchase of these books as they would be read to
: the students prior to them creating their own masterpieces. : Can these guides be published without getting prior approvan from the
: authors and illustrators? Dear Jim Holzschuh, Looks very risky the way you put it. M. Arthur Auslander
