NEW 2009
The mouse is just the first critter to appear in Bert’s collection. How does he fit all of the animals in his room? That is what his sister wants to know and I let her tell the story. To find out more about MY BROTHER BERT, including sketches and activities, click here or on the cover.
New For Fall 2010 GUINEA PIGS ADD UPCOMING JULY 2010 Written by Margery Cuyler Illustrated by Tracey Campbell Pearson Published by Walker Books ISBN: 987-0-8027-9795-7 First one guinea pig...then two...before long this classroom has them everywhere!

MY
SKETCH BOOK

 NAPKIN SKETCHESSometimes I draw on any available paper. Click on this napkin to see more sketches |
I continue to be "wowed" when I visit schools. Last fall I was “eye to beak” with a bigger than life-size Bob created by students, parents and teachers at Cape Elizabeth Elementary School in Maine. Imagine taking your favorite character from a book and creating a life-size figure to keep you company! Bob is made out of paper mache with a wire skeleton. His heavy clay feet keep him from flying away. Click on Bob to see what other schools have done with him!
