31 Ralph Fletcher Joann Portalupi Gail Ritchie-reviewer 2008 978-1-57110-706-0 <p>&quot;When I set out to rebuild my classroom Writers Workshop from the ground up,&quot; says reviewer Gail Ritchie, &quot;the first edition of <i>Craft Lessons</i> was an invaluable resource for me. When the second edition came out, my first thought was, 'How could that book get any better?' The answer does not lie in major changes; rather, the new edition is a sharper, clearer version of the lessons that transformed writing in my classroom and countless others. It is a polishing of the stone, and the result is a vibrant, beautifully simple resource for scaffolding the development of young writers.&quot;</p>
