I highly recommend getting David LaRochelle to visit your school or library. He's great!
He talked a little about being an author, and read "The Best Pet of All." Then he told us about how a theater company had done a puppet show of "Best Pet of All" and sent him the puppets!
He even got the kids moving by playing follow the leader with the puppets. It was a hit!
After that he drew us a hilarious story that he wrote, based on the numbers 1-10. Everyone was cracking up. Finally, he read "It's a Tiger" and talked about the process of making that story. It was such a treat to have him visit us. Not every author can do a great job with preschool age kids, but David's got it!
I even got a sneak peek of his new book coming out this fall with illustrator Mike Wohnoutka. It looks AMAZING and I'm sooooooo excited to read it in storytime.

It was my pleasure to be at your library, Ms. Anna...especially since it's only a few blocks from my house! Thank you for making me feel so welcome! We are lucky to have you for our neighborhood children's librarian.
