Jon Agee - Author, Illustrator, & Lover of Words
"Sit on a potato pan, Otis!"
This week's mentor texts:
With returning to school after a lengthy vacation, I thought it would be fun to conduct another "author study week" - and decided to focus on the very talented, creative, and hilarious children's bookmaker Jon Agee. Learners discovered what led Mr. Agee to pursue a career as an author/illustrator extraordinaire here; experienced his love of creating wacky, off-the-wall stories (titles above); and listened to his take on poetry, oxymorons, and palindromes as well.
For those that would like to know more about Jon, here is an interview from 2011. I'm very much looking forward to another great month in the library with all of SATEC's curious and excited learners!
