this weekend Casey and I met Mr. Eric and James Dean, the author and illustrator of Pete the Cat
while James Dean painted and Mr. Eric sang...
the children sang and danced along and smiled
I loved James Dean's blue shoes!

How cool!! I am using Pete the Cat for the first time this week. I love meeting authors and being able to tell the children about it...it helps them understand that real people just like you and me wrote and illustrated this book!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome. Was he is Cinci? I'll have to see if he is coming to NE Ohio! My class loves the books too!
