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.
