It's June and time for a new author  at the Author Fiesta blog. This month (actually two months) we will be reading the books of Mem Fox.  Time for another trip to the library!

We really enjoyed getting to know the works of Patricia Polacco.  She does a wonderful job of turning her simple childhood memories into fascinating and touching stories. I am amazed at the details she remembers from those times long ago. Her illustrations are also wonderful.  I think the children and I will try writing a few of our own stories.

If you decide to join us in studying Mem Fox, you may want to check out  the Pirates Multi-book Theme Unit at Homeschoolshare using her book Tough Borris.  Currclick also sells a book called Teaching With Favorite Mem Fox Books which has various activities you can use.
