You guys. I am
doing my best not to completely geek out over this one, but trust me – it’s awesome!
First, if you haven’t read Love
That Dog (with your class or for yourself!), you’re missing out. It’s short, sweet,
sad, empowering, and just lovely for teaching figurative language, inferring &
predicting, poetry, and more.
Second, kids LOVE her stuff. Seriously, it’s a little crazy.
Put a copy of Granny
Torrelli Makes Soup in their hands.
Last, did I tell you last year she actually commented on one
of my student’s blog posts? All I did was tweet that I had a student writing
poetry inspired by Love That Dog… she
saw the tweet, went to the post, and commented to the girl, “Love that poem!”
Talk about igniting a love for reading and writing!
Anyway, if kids sign up for her reading pledge in September, they could
win all 16 of her books, including a signed hardcover of her newest, The
Boy on the Porch!
You can follow
this link to see the pledge page – hope you will consider sharing this with
your readers! For more stellar Creech stuff, be sure to follow her on Twitter @ciaobellacreech.
