Author, Eric Litwin Visiting December 4

We are excited to announce our first author visit of the school year!  Eric Litwin, #1 New York Times Best-Selling Author of the first four Pete the Cat picture books and also an Award Winning Musician, will be reading and singing to our students on Wednesday, December 4.  

Vanderlyn will not be selling books as part of Mr. Eric's appearance.  However, he will sign any of his book titles below if students want to bring their personal copies to school.  Students must bring these books to their teachers by Tuesday, December 3.  Please include a sticky note inside the front cover with the student's name, teacher name, and grade.

Before sending in a Pete the Cat book to get signed, please confirm that it is one of these titles written by Eric Litwin.  Any other Pete the Cat books are written by a different author.
