Author Websites to Explore

OK kids, in case you hadn't noticed, it's officially August.  If you haven't started your summer reading, it's probably time to get started.  I thought I would share a list of author websites if you need a little inspiration to help you choose a book to read - many of these authors have titles on our summer reading lists.

These sites often contain information about the author and illustrator, and games that tie into the stories.  Check out the list below to see if your favorite author is represented - and let me know If I should include a few more!  Mrs. M

A few sample sites that are quite fun to explore...

1. Lemony Snicket


2. Blue Balliett



3. Jeanne Birdsall
