 Autobiographies for Grades 2-5                                      Authors/Price List 


Meet The Author books are tailor made for author studies and teaching writing.

Author Studies: Your students will immediately connect with the authors through a vivid look into their personal and professional lives. Meet the Author books encourage reading and writing by motivating students through the authors’ work and experiences.

Teaching Writing: With the Meet The Author books your students
will learn how to become skillful writers in a clear and meaningful way.  They will learn what goes into developing a story, editing, and revising, and be inspired to create their own stories.

Give your students a personal, in depth view of writing with these
34 popular and award-winning author autobiographies, written especially for seven-to ten-year-olds. Illustrated throughout with unique and fascinating, full-color photographs that draw readers into the life and creative process of their favorite authors.  Students discover how real authors organize their writing and turn ideas into books. Each book reveals the writing process told in each author's own words.

Entertaining and informal, this series is the next best thing to meeting a live author.
                  --The Bulletin of the Center for
                          Children's Books


These autobiographical accounts read like conversations with familiar friends. The authors' words draw readers into their lives, and the 
excellent full-color photographs of home, working environment, and family help children participate in their worlds.
                  --School Library Journal

... instead of showing them the tiny picture of the author on the book  jacket, you can hand the kids one of these treasures and say 'Want to meet the author?'
                   --Teaching K-8
