Jon Scieszka and Mac Barnett Author Visit

There is a great author event coming to the St. Louis County Library! The authors of "Battle Bunny" are coming to the Headquarters branch on Wednesday, October 23.

Jon Scieszka ("The True Story of the Three Little Pigs", "Stinky Cheese Man," "Trucktown") is always a hoot when he speaks at events. I can't wait to see him together with Mac Barnett ("Extra Yarn," "Brixton Brothers," "Chloe and the Lion"). Imagine the mayhem!

Get a taste of what these authors serve up to tickle your funny bone!

"Battle Bunny" Alex has been given a saccharine, sappy, silly-sweet picture book about Birthday Bunny that his grandma found at a garage sale. Alex isn't interested--until he decides to make the book something he'd actually like to read. So he takes out his pencil, sharpens his creativity, and totally transforms the story! Birthday Bunny becomes Battle Bunny, and the rabbit's innocent journey through the forest morphs into a supersecret mission to unleash an evil plan--a plan that only Alex can stop.

"Spaceheadz" On his first day at Brooklyn's P.S. 858, fifth-grader Michael K. is teamed with two very strange students, and while he gradually comes to believe they are aliens who need his help, he has trouble convincing anyone else of the truth.
 

"Count the Monkeys" The reader is invited to count the animals that have frightened the monkeys off the pages.
