I bought Timeless Thomas after seeing it pop up on Goodreads several times. I've had the same conversations with my kids as they've been working on creating a website about healthy living for our school. We've looked at how authors of various websites show the reader what is important and now they are making some of those decisions as they create the layout of their pages. I haven't shared Timeless Thomas yet, but am looking forward to digging deeper into reading and writing nonfiction.Julie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497758310228642932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-33371165198901661222012-10-23T11:40:41.499-04:002012-10-23T11:40:41.499-04:00Great discussion on the differences between intere...Great discussion on the differences between interesting and important when reading non fiction.
