The 3rd grade BookMunch group read Little Dog, Lost in December and on Thursday, December 12, at lunch, the group spoke with the author, Marion Dane Bauer, by Skype. The students asked many questions about her writing process and how she decided on the character names and places in the story. Mrs. Bauer graciously answered each question and then surprised the students by bringing out her two dogs to meet the students, both of which she had rescued. Student's learned why the book is written in short prose and that the style is easier for student's to read but also more difficult to write! Here are some photographs from the event:
