Meet the Author--Andrew Clements

Our PTA is sponsoring a Meet the Author program. Our author this month is Andrew Clements! We'll be talking about this prolific and versatile author in the library and reading from a few of his books. To read his biography, check out his website!



For grades K-2 we'll be reading "Dogku". Illustrated by Tim Bowers, this adorable book about a stray dog finding a home will please children--and possibly make them want a pet of their own. It's called "Dogku" because the story is told through a haiku on each page!









For 3rd and 4th grades, we'll be reading from "Frindle". This story is about a fifth grader who discovers the power of words by creating one.


















For 5th and 6th grades, we'll be reading from "Things Hoped For". In the first chapter, I focused on a wonderful description of Gwen's musical ability and how she rehearses for her upcoming audition. Clements has a gift for metaphors!














Ask your students about these books, and keep your eyes open for other titles by Andrew Clements!
