Mr. Stein and Mrs. Coons' "Two for the Show" program is unique in several ways. The couple prefers to remain the full day in the host school. This allows for smaller, more intimate groups of students, resulting in more learning and more fun.
Mrs. Coons draws key points made in Mr. Stein's presentation. These creative illustrations are presented to the school at the end of the day.
The pair of presenters is comfortable at any grade level, though at present the bulk of their publications fits the k-6 forum best.
Mr. Stein and Mrs. Coons can customize their program to fit the particular atmosphere of any school and climate. For example, at a recent school, they wrote and illustrated a large-sized "book" over the course of a day (with a series of student-group input) on the 100 year anniversary of the building in which they were presenting. They have also preread and later critiqued and provided "covers" for selected students' work.
The couple currently confines their outings to two times per week and within the boundaries of western Ohio and eastern Indiana within a radius of 125 miles from the Grand Lake area of Ohio.
