They do have fun with it. We've only done the plot points, not really any of the theme or further investigation, but they're young and this is a beginning.
It doesn't take very long with a picture book. We read the book then figure out what goes where. First, we list the characters. Then we do the intro & conclusion, then the climax, finally write in the rising and falling action. We've only done two books, but so far so good.
I wouldn't do it with every book. We've done two books ever.

We love Blueberries for Sal! It is an annual end-of-summer read in our house.
