Picture Books by Eileen Christelow

As I visit schools around the country, teachers tell me how they have used my books in their classrooms. They have showed me pictures, posters, charts, letters, quilts, mobiles and more. They have transformed corners of libraries into diners and produced plays with hyperactive little monkeys. Classroom Connections is a collection of these project ideas which I've jotted on scraps of paper, hoping to share them with other teachers.

If you have other ideas for projects that work well with my books and would like to share them with your fellow teachers, please e-mail them to me. I would be happy to give you credit.
