Meet Marc Brown

Owen won two tickets from our library to meet Marc Brown, the author of the Arthur books! Pat should probably be writing this post because he took Owen but I'll see how much I can remember from what they told me. They got there a little early and Owen got to choose a new Arthur chapter book, courtesy of the library. Then there was a presentation/slideshow and q&a session that was very entertaining. Marc Brown explained all about where his characters came from (most inspired by his own 3rd grade class) and also told about his home life. Afterwards, they waited about an hour to get some books signed. Sounds like a long time but I think Marc Brown was so friendly to Owen when it was his turn that they didn't feel like it was wasted time. It was a great experience and Owen already had his new book read before he got home!
