Children's Literature Authors

Hi everybody, I googled "children's literature authors" and I found many. The one that I really was looking for was Patricia Polacco. I heard one of her stories in one of my other classes and I really enjoyed it. It was called Thank You, Mr. Falker. This was a great story about a young girl who struggles with reading and is teased by other children, until she meets a wonderful teacher who helped her with her struggles. I googled Patricia Polacco and I came across her site http://www.patriciapolacco.com/author/bio/bio.html, I am definitley going to check out some of her other books because I just loved Thank You, Mr. Falker, I was getting all emotional just listening to the story!

Another book or books rather, that my son and I really enjoyed were, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, by Jeff Kinney. These books are hilarious! They will really get the students to read. My son could not put the book down. The book is based on a fictatious character of a boy named Greg Heffley who writes about his life incidents in this book. I also googled Jeff Kinney and I found his web page http://www.wimpykid.com/. I hope you enjoy these books just as much as we did.

Well, I've never blogged before, but it seems so much easier than having to write journal after journal after journal...!!! I don't know what else to say. I'll think of something later.
