May 19, 2011

Mark proved to be an excellent choice for our yearly author visit…. Mark’s ability to adjust his repertoire to the ages and needs of the students was outstanding… Every student expressed their enjoyment and excitement regarding his visit, and the copies of Mark’s books that were purchased for classrooms and our school library are now rarely on the shelf….

The children laughed at Mark’s humor and said they pictured what he was acting out as he told his stories. I feel that Mark’s performance was [...]
