Ask about your favorite author














A few weeks ago some of your children's librarians got a chance to meet these three authors and one illustrator. From the left, the famous author Doreen Cronin, among her successful titles are Click Clack Moo, Bounce, Wiggle, and most recently M.O.M.* (Mom Operating Manual) Doreen was truely a pleasure listening to and her humor is certainly not only part of her writing style but also part of her charisma. Presenting beside her was Laura Cornell, who's known for her illustrations and her successful #1 New York Times bestsellers with author Jamie Lee Curtis, such as Big Words for Little People, Today I feel Silly & Other Moods, that make my day, & Is there really a Human Race? Laura didn't seem as talkative as Doreen but was also delightful one on one. In the center photo, is Kate Klimo, best known for her Dragon Keepers fantasy series.



Kate shared with us that she's excited to write not only for the readers, and for herself, but also for her parents. Also, last but not least was author Michael Dahl. Michael Dahl was known for several of his non-fiction titles among them are some of your teacher's favorites the If you wera an adjective, If you were a noun, etc. , or perhaps you'll know him by his most recent set of joke books: Laughs for a living: jokes about doctors, teachers, firefighters..., Screaming with laugher: jokes about ghosts, ghouls, zombies,... needless to say he was a hilarious speaker and has recently published fiction books.
