Our "Author of the Month" for September is Dav Pilkey!
The first story in our reading anthology is Dragon Gets By, by Dav (pronounced "Dave") Pilkey, so I thought it would be nice to begin the year with Dav as our "Author of the month.

Celebrating an author is a fabulous way to introduce children to popular figures in children's literature. Bringing children closer to the authors lets them know the authors' purpose and perspective, creating more enthusiasm for reading. Some authors have backgrounds that surprise adults as well (research H.A. Rey). Who is your favorite author?
