As I was going through some summer photos on my camera, I discovered the adorable faces of last year's kindergarteners and first graders working on end-of-year activities. I forgot to post these at the time, but better late than never, especially with pictures as wonderful as these. Below you will see the Leo Lionni-inspired "Library Guard Mice" created by the first graders after completing their author study of the award-winning children's writer and illustrator. The kindergarteners are pictured with their Mo Willems' doodles. They doodled on table-sized sheets of butcher paper after learning that Mo Willems likes to do this with his family. The students found out that the alligator from Amanda & Her Alligator was first created as part of a Willems' family doodling session.

Don't panic - these are just the Library Guard Mice for the summer. After studying the wonderful books of Leo Lionni over the past several weeks, the first graders were commissioned to create some furry friends to look after the books while we are away for three months. Leo Lionni is the author and illustrator behind many memorable books, including Frederick, Swimmy, and Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse. If you'd like to learn more about him, take a look at his page on the Random House Kids website.
