Someone made this terrific sign to advertise the event!



 

I haven't gotten the ok yet to post photos from the event, but if/when I do, I'll post them here! 

Thanks to all the wonderful staff, parents and students who always make me feel so welcome at Leonard Lawrence School!  It was fun having juice and donuts with you and sharing a book, too!

Breakfast and a Book!

Presented at Leonard Lawrence Elementary School on Thursday, April 18, 2013.

Books:

Hippospotamus by Jeanne Willis, illustrated by Tony Ross

Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons by Eric Litwin, illustrated by James Dean

"My buttons! My buttons! My four groovy buttons!"

It was wonderful to see so many families spending reading time together at Thursday's event! (And the donuts and juice were great, too!)  I especially want to thank Nicole Fox and Kari Brown for inviting me to Leonard Lawrence, and to the students and parents who made me feel so welcome!
Good luck during these last weeks of school!

Breakfast and a Book!

Presented at Leonard Lawrence Elementary School on Thursday, November 8, 2012.

Book:

Senorita Gordita by Helen Ketteman, illustrated by Will Terry

I really enjoyed my time at Leonard Lawrence Elementary School this morning! 

My thanks to Miss Brown and Mrs. Skoff for inviting me!  So great to see parents and children sitting together, enjoying donuts and juice, and READING!  Kids were reading all kinds of things: a pet care book, Joseph Had a Little Overcoat by Simms Taback, Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm by Kate Douglas Wiggin, and many more.
I hope everyone enjoyed Senorita Gordita this morning.  By the time I reached the last page of the story, many children had already seen the similarity between this book and the story of The Gingerbread Man!  Yes, this is a fractured folktale!  Thanks to everyone who joined in "with a flip, and a skip, and a zip-zoom-zip" each time Senorita Gordita gave the slip to some very hungry desert animals!

I've been told that Leonard Lawrence's next Breakfast and a Book will be in the spring of 2013!
