I just had my first official school visit, at PS116 on the East side of Manhattan. It was a total blast. The kids were a combo of first and second graders, and they were adorable and a great audience. And so well behaved! Very impressive. I read "Doggie Dreams" to them and showed them how a children's book is made from the first idea to the final product. And then we did some drawing demos, which was their favorite. The first drawing is Jake, and the second is a monster that we drew together. The boys were obsessed with giving the monster underwear, and were very excited when I finally gave in. I forgot my camera for this visit, but next time I'll come back with a lot of photos.
