While doing research on children's authors, I found some very interesting web sites. One of them is www. kidsreads.com/authors/authors.asp. This web site is full of interesting information. It has an alphabetical list of authors and their biographies. When you select an author, it'll give you a list of their books and some activities related to that book like a word scramble and a maze. These activities could be used in a classroom. Besides activities, it also gives you an address where you can write to your favorite author. This would also be something that a teacher could use in her classroom.
In this website I found out about Eric Carle who is the author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and the illustrator for Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See. My daughter used to love this two books when she was younger. I had no idea that he had written so many books. I would definetlly want to add some of his books to my classroom library some day.
Another helpful web site that I found was: www.kidinfo.com/language_Arts/Books_authors.html. This web site has information for students, teachers and parents. It has a lot of helpful resources and references. For instance it gives you web site where you can find children's books for all ages. In this web site I found out the name of the author of a book series that I used to like reading when I was in elementary.
Over all, there is a lot of helpful web sites out there where you can find a lot of ideas and information.
