Looking for some fun books to read? Want to learn more about a favorite author? Here are some author websites that you might enjoy. Let us know with a comment if you have other favorites to share.
Judy Moody
Many fourth graders have been enjoying the adventures of Judy Moody and her little brother Stink. Why not check out Judy's room, explore some "way-not-boring things to do" and learn more about Judy?
Beverly Cleary
Your parents probably enjoyed the books of Beverly Cleary when they were in school--and you can, too! At this site, you can read an excerpt from Ramona and Beezus, play games at the Klickitat St. Arcade, and even take the ultimate Beverly Cleary quiz.
Dav Pilkey
Dav Pilkey is the author of the Captain Underpants series. This site is considered "too silly for grown-ups, small animals, and many varieties of houseplants." So be warned!
Andrew Clements
Some literature circle groups are reading Frindle or The School Story right now. Even if you're not, you might enjoy reading about the books of Andrew Clements. Be sure to check out "Fun Extras" for some interesting video!
Vicki Cobb
Vicki Cobb writes about different science experiments that you can try. (See Mrs. Kissner if you'd like to borrow one of her books.) At her website, you can even view some videos that Mrs. Cobb made with her grandkids, daring you to try some experiments of your own. But ask your parents first. Please!
Kristine O'Connell George
Ask Mrs. Kissner to borrow "The Great Frog Race" to read some beautiful poems. Then visit the author's website, where you can read some more poems, learn some tips for writing poetry, and listen to poetry read aloud.
