I had the pleasure of meeting Jerry Pallotta a year ago when he visited Roanoke, VA for the VEMA (Virginia Educational Media Association) Conference and a visit to the elementary school where I work. He is such a nice man! That is such a simple way to say it, but it simply is true. He did several presentations with different age groups (with student involvement, the children were very engaged), sold books and even autographed them. He was kind, funny, attentive and is full of neat ideas....his books are really fun!
He tends to write more nonfiction, but has done several fiction books, as well. He is well known for his alphabet books. His alphabet books include many interesting details. He spends a lot of time researching for these books. He even collaborated with many other popular childrens book authors and illustrators in the book Guys Write for Guys Read.
The children and teachers at my school really enjoy his math books, such as Hershey's Milk Chocolate Weights and Measures, Twizzler's Shapes & Patterns and The Crayon Counting Book (and there are many more!) Some of the books that we have at my house that my own children enjoy are The Construction Alphabet Book, The Butterfly Alphabet Book and Who Will Help Santa This Year?

I would recommend reading his books....all of them! And I would also recommend him as a visitor to your conference, school or library.
Do you have a favorite Jerry Pallotta book?
