Author visit!

Today I got to see Melissa Stewart on a video thing.I saw her in her house and all her furniture.She helped figure out how to write a Reader's Theater script.She told us, if you choose a book with no dialogue, then just use your imagination to come up with voices for the characters.I am also excited to see and read her upcoming books about animals helping to make a chocolate tree grow.It's called No Monkeys No Chocolate.There also some other books like butterflies and moths, dolphins and sharks, and alligators and crocodiles.Melissa Stewart used to have a cat that gave her some ideas for animals in a book.But unfortunately, her cat died!!so after her house is done reconstructing itself, they will probably get a new pet at the animal shelter for some more ideas.It was really exciting meeting a famous author like Melissa Stewart!
