Watch Ian Nicholson and Samuel Wilde’s puppet-filled adaptation of Jon Klassen’s beautiful picture book, This Is Not My Hat. This is done from their home, and it's just as fantastic as their last puppet play!

Did you see that J. Paul Getty Museum created an online challenge to recreate a piece of art at home?

Here are a few examples:

Let's have our own challenge but with books and characters!
I challenge you to recreate a scene from your favorite book, or dress up and pose as your favorite character. It can be a picture book or a chapter book.

This is my friend, Ms. Hamilton, librarian extraordinaire, from Binford Elementary:

Take a picture and bring it to school in August. We will post the pictures on the bulletin board outside the library so we will be able to guess your book title or character. You may also email your picture to me, just one per student, please.
