Our First Skype Date!

Today we had our first skype date! We talked to Howard Binkow, the author of the Howard B. Wigglebottom books.  Before our chat with him, we wrote down some of our wonders about his books and what we wanted to know about being an author.

While we chatted with him he showed us his website (https://wedolisten.org/media/)  and we read two of his books.  We learned that all of his books have a message for children.  When he was in school he had a lot of trouble listening to his teacher and his friends so he decided to write, Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns to Listen to help other children learn to listen.  We also learned that the original name for the character in his stories was Harold but his family said that he had to call the character Howard because the story was all about him!  Another thing we learned is that some of the books have a different illustrator.  On their website you can actually write and colour your own Howard B. Wigglebottom book!  Here are some of the books we have in our classroom!  Have you ever read any of the Howard B. Wigglebottom books? If not, you should give them a try.   We think you would like them!
