In the Parent Toolbox: Henry's Alien Attack Slideshow (a PowerPoint Storybook)

I admit I'm a PowerPoint shunner. Having been exposed to one too many boring slideshows, I find I've blamed the messenger. But this addition to the Parent Toolbox (especially after Kristen's amazing slideshow illustrating her husband's deployment for her kids) may have turned it around.

Kid's Storybook in Powerpoint by Finslippy

Not surprisingly, Henry (SON OF FINSLIPPY, which sounds like the title of a B movie thriller), is a prolific writer. Those of his stories that don't make it into the permanent Henry Library go straight into PowerPoint. I'll let Alice tell you all about it, because it's one of the most creative uses of PowerPoint I've ever seen. Also, she's much funnier than I am.
