Author Visit

This morning Ms. Armstrong came to read us a story called Extra Yarn, written by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Jon Klassen. After, she taught a few kids how to knit a little.

Then we got to talk on Skype with Jon Klassen all the way from Los Angeles! He read This Is Not My Hat, about a little fish who steals a blue hat.

Author and Illustrator, Jon Klassen (Mrs. Lowe's cousin)

After the story we got to ask him all of our questions. He told us his favourite colour is blue and that he is 31 years old.

Then he showed us how to draw a crab under water and a turtle wearing black boots. He even asked for some ideas about his next book.

We chatted for so long that we missed recess. Mrs. Lowe took us outside and we got to play wherever we wanted because we had the whole playground to ourselves.

Jon Klassen told us that his favourite book is Sam and the Firefly. What is your favourite book?
