INQUIRIES about having a school, library, or bookstore presentation, please email me at dohertybooks@att.net
I live in Schererville, IN.
For preschoolers or kindergarteners
My 30-minute presentation is educational, motivational, and entertaining…including a few magic tricks! I’ll read aloud DON’T FEED THE BEAR. Kids will have fun acting out parts of the story.
I’ll discuss:
- The parts of a book
- The jobs of an author and illustrator
- The difference between a story and informational text
- The problem, solution, setting, and message of the story
- How the characters are alike…and different
- The author’s purpose and word choice
- What makes a good story
I’ll get kids excited about writing by brainstorming ideas.
Afterwards, I’ll sign books.
