Author Study - Robert Munsch!
By Kathy Paxton-Williams

Clip to ScrapBook   
I recommend Robert Munsch, author of "The Paperbag Princess," "Stephanie's Ponytail," "I Love You Forever," and many, many more. Last Spring my third graders and I made a chart of similar themes found in Robert Munsch books,
then I had them read some of his books on their own (I got the books from the local library). They wrote the title of the book just read on a sticky note, and placed the sticky note wherever appropriate on the chart. We also read "From Far Away" and wrote our own "From Far Away" stories (my kids all speak another language at home). We made a class book, and I took pictures of the
pages and typed them verbatim to send to the author. He was very nice, replied with a nice letter to my students, and sent them autographed copies of his books (one per student!).

If you have any questions, feel free to email me!
