Term 4 Week 1 Author Visit


Today we were very lucky to have author, Kerry Brown, visit us.  She is an author of children's books and a brilliant presenter. These are two of her picture books.



Poppy Wash was about a girl, named Poppy, who loved her job because she got to wash dragons.  By Imogen
In Poppy Wash one of the dragons got a set of traffic lights stuck in his mouth because he was flying too fast.  By Hannah S
Poppy loved washing the dragons everyday because she had always wanted one.  By Elizabeth
The illustrations in Poppy Wash were great because the bubbles were really good.  By Niamh and Maya



Can I Cuddle the Moon is a very good story because it has lots of rhymes.  It is a good children's book because it is a very nice story and the illustrations are made of collage.  By Nicholas

I like the pictures and the drawings of the bird in the bird bath when it splashes around.  By Callum

I like Cuddle the Moon because it rhymes and it has lots of detailed collages.  By Claudia

I loved the illustrations on the snake because it looks like bubble wrap.  By Geordan







Kerry Brown was telling us about how she became an author.  She wrote Can I Cuddle the Moon because her son liked to cuddle everything and he gave her the idea.  By Conner

I liked Kerry Brown's stories and how she used her imagination.  She showed us a picture about her imagination where a person's shadow was a knight and the bird was a dragon.  By Ethan

She gave away bookmarks for people who answered questions and people who went up to make up new sentences.  By Luka

We had to write a funny answer for our own story.  The question was "Can I kiss Ms Taylor on the toes?"  We made up - "First you have to give her a rose."  By Claudia

"Can I kiss Miss Lavan up a tree?"  "First you have to count to three."  By Hannah L
