We Are Having a Visiting Author!

by Zoe N.

Every year Countryside has a visiting author. This year it is author and illustrator Lisa Campbell Ernst. She is coming April 18th, 2010. Mrs. Ernst wrote The Gingerbread Girl, a Monarch book. The Gingerbread Girl was a Monarch book this year, if you remember, and it was written by Mrs. Ernst! If you want to order some of her books, I believe you can. You have to send in the order form by April 17th, 2010. This form was sent to the oldest child in Countryside. This order form and the list of Mrs. Ernst's books are in the Countryside newsletter. Ask your parents if you can order some of her books.

I hope you are as excited as I am about Mrs. Ernst coming. What do you think about Mrs. Ernst coming? Do you like visiting authors? What do you think about all of her books? What do you think about her coming to our school? Do you like it? Or are you not interested in visiting authors? You can tell me what you think about visiting authors! I hope you will be so excited waiting for Mrs. Ernst coming!
