When  a child can connect with a character, it leads to an endless love with a book and an author.  Mr. Henkes continues to capture the hearts of 2nd grade readers in our classroom year after year, and this year is no exception.  I think once a day, one of my students asks to skype with Mr. Henkes!  (Mrs. McMullan has spoiled us with her willingness to skype!)  Quite possibly we could skype with Mr. Henkes... It never hurts to ask!

In the meantime, we have become enthralled  with Mr. Henkes' craft.  We have made note of his use of repeating lines, lovable and feisty characters, and meticulous illustrations...so much so, that our own Kevin Henkes' inspired-pieces are in the works... Stay tuned...
