If you haven’t explored Jan Brett’s web site before, you are missing out! She has all kinds of fun activities, coloring sheets, games, and other stuff featuring her beautiful artwork – in addition to information about her books.

One of the treats that she offers is a “make your own” section for classroom and library signage and she gives permission to print as many copies as you like. These would be great to use during a Jan Brett author study or any time you want.

Thank you, Jan Brett, for generously sharing your talent with all of us!

One of our fabulous librarians alerted me to the news that Dallas is one of the scheduled stops on Jan Brett’s Fall tour. This tour is to introduce her new book, Gingerbread Friends. At each stop, they are doing a “party.” Her web site says that tickets are free, but limited, so you may want to call the book store and find out when they will be available. The Dallas party will be at the Borders on Preston Rd. on Thursday, November 6. Mark your calendars – sounds like a lot of fun!
