David Elliott

we were so lucky to have New Hampshire author David Elliott visit Danbury Elementary during Read Across America week! I liked how he visited with each class and helped children make animal poems. He had some interesting stories and facts about what it means to be a writer. It sounds like hard work - but I bet it's lots of fun!

If you want to read some of David Elliott's books, here are the ones we have in the library:
The Cool Crazy Crickets Club
The Cool Crazy Crickets to the Rescue
In The Wild
On The Farm
Knitty Kitty
Finn Throws a Fit
And Here's to You

In fourth grade, David Elliott read from a chapter book called Evangeline Mudd and the Golden-Haired Apes of the Ikkinasti Jungle. This book is out of print - but I found one online to order! It should arrive soon. We also ordered his new picture book - In The Sea.  I can't wait until it comes so I can see those woodcut illustrations of sea creatures up close!
