Do you have book fairs at your school? Dewey Booker can hardly wait for his class to go to the book fair but they are the last class in the school to go! Will there be any books left? What about the new Amazing Explorers Atlas? Or mysteries and histories? Will he have enough money in his bookworm bank?
We've read Lynn Plourde's book before such as School Picture Day and Wild Child. Mrs. Plourde writes a varied selection of books from simple verse to more complex stories for older children. I like the quote on her homepage: "...a better job title for me might be 'word player. I love playing with words....I just spill them onto paper, stack them up, move them around, and see what I can create.'"
Mrs. Plourde has over a dozen wonderful pictures books out in print with a number addressing issues with Mrs. Shepherd's class. She is a wonderful example of never-giving up. It took 13 years before her first book was accepted and that was after hundreds and hundreds of rejection letters. She emphasizes that it is better to write well than to write long.
