First Graders Read David McPhail

The First graders have been learning about author/illustrator David McPhail. Mr. McPhail always wanted to be an artist. He started drawing when he was two years old and he drew on anything, anytime and any where. He is best known for his animal characters that come to life.

First graders enjoyed The Bear's Toothache which was published in 1972, Lost!, Mole Music, which was a New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Book of the Year and Pigs Aplenty, Pigs Galore.

One of the highlights of David McPhail's work is looking for "clues to the story" in the opening pages or title pages of his books.
