Tammi Sauer Author Visit, December 3

On Thursday, December 3, 2009, Oklahoma children's book author Tammi Sauer visited kindergarten students at Steed Elementary School. Sauer is the author of Chicken Dance and Cowboy Camp . The kids and teachers all enjoyed meeting and listening to Ms. Sauer in the library. We learned that she comes from a huge family, lives in a zoo, and loves to use her imagination. When she was young, her job on the farm was the "pig chaser!" She showed us pictures of her family and her family pets--she really does live in a zoo! She read her new book Chicken Dance to us and led everybody in a fun farm song and dance. "How funky is your chicken? How loose is your goose? How wow is your cow?..."

Three students--Noah, Kaleb, and Alanna--won free Chicken Dance books, which Ms. Sauer autographed for them. We had a rousing good time and the kids had the great opportunity to meet a real author.
