New Author Study Up! Plus Flash Giveaway

I just added my newest Author Study for author Audrey Wood.  Love, love, love this lady's awesome stories and her amazing husband's artwork!  This was a fun one to put together.  It's 92 pages long and covers 10 of her amazing books:

* Quick as a Cricket
* The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear 
* A Dob Needs a Bone
* Ten Little Fish
* Silly Sally
* Little Penguin's Tale
* King Bidgood's in the Bathtub
* The Napping House
* Heckedy Peg
* Rude Giants

Here's a little peek at some of the activities included:



I also recently created and uploaded an Author Study notebook for tying together a monthly author study.  There are several generic pages that can be used with any author study as well as to organize a notebook where you document the learning, activities, and crafts students complete during each author study.  Here are some peeks at the notebook:

And now for a flash giveaway....I'll give away a copy of the Audrey Wood author study AND the Author Study notebook on Wednesday during my Ten Pin Linky.  All you have to do to enter is leave a comment letting me know your favorite children's book author.  Also leave your email address.  :)

You can check the files out on TPT here:

    I have so many, I don't know how to narrow it down. But my favorite would be Tommie de Paola; partially because he grew up in the town next to my hometown and his grandparent's lived in my hometown.

    I love so many authors! Last year my kids adored Roald Dahl. They just kept asking for another one even when I wanted to move on to other authors/stories. So for now, that's what I'm going with. :)

    This is a tough one...I would have to say that Lois Elhert is definitely one of my favorites! The kids' favorite this year was probably Eric Litwin/Pete the Cat. Audrey Wood has always been one of my favorites, too!
