About the Book:

Fasten your seat belt, we're going on a trip! Places Near and Far: 102 Monologues for Young Children

My Third Monologue Book by Kristen Dabrowski has 102 short monologues focusing on everyday situations, but there's a twist. This book is all about places. Each monologue includes critical thinking questions to engage kids in the acting process.
• Familiar Places features such as the attic, the dentist's office, or a cornfield -- can the kids find the clues hidden in the monologue that will help them figure out where their character is?
• Cities in the United States -- can they find the clues in their monologue that will help them figure out which city and state their character is from?
• Places Around the World-- by answering questions pertaining to things like weather and traditions for each monologue, kids will piece together where their character is, such as Rio de Janeiro, Siberia, and Paris.
• Imaginary and Far-out Places feature locations such as Mars, Sesame Street, and Mount Olympus. Kids guess who their character is talking to and where he is, and are asked to imagine what it would be like to be in this place.

What people say:

"Both [My Second Monologue and My Third Monologue] books are good additions as they suggest well-rounded activities for students to practice reading, writing, speaking, and both critical and imaginative thinking." — School Library Journal
