What a week we had in the JRE Library! Thanks to our friends at Blue Willow Bookshop and Harper Collins, we had not one, two or even three authors visit. We were lucky to have SIX authors visit our Book Retrievers this week!
On Tuesday, Second and Third grades met these three amazing authors:
There was Shivers! The Pirate Who’s Afraid of EVERYTHING! co-author, Annabeth Bondor-Stone
There was J.A. White, author of The Thickety series
And there was the author of the Alien in My Pocket series and host of PBS’s Design Squad, Nate Ball.
Thanks to the fantastic participation of our intrepid students, they were able to break a Class Acts World Record!
On Thursday, Class Acts returned with three more authors.
This time there was former NFL player and author Tim Green:
Connor White, co-author of Shivers! The Pirate Who’s Afraid of EVERYTHING! :
And last, but certainly not least, Tom Watson, author of the Stick Dog series:
Our Fourth and Fifth graders were mesmerized by Tim Green’s reading from his new book, Kid Owner, entertained by the tale of the timid Shivers and inspired by Tom Watson’s creative method of pet naming.
Thanks so much to each of these authors for taking the time to delight and inspire our Book Retrievers! There are a few autographed books from these Class Acts still available for purchase, thanks to Blue Willow Bookshop, through Tuesday, November 10th. Stop by the library to pick up another order form if needed.
