Hmmm...I don't think I could choose just one favorite....
Roald Dahl- He has been one of my favorites since I was 10 years old! He has such a zany, quirky sense of humor and imagination. I've read everything he's ever written, and my favorite is probably Boy, his autobiography.

Mo Willems- The author of Knuffle Bunny and the Elephant and Piggie series really understands what is funny to kids. His illustrations are unique and unlike anyone else's. I would love to see him write books for older kids.

Jeff Kinney- This guy is just plain hilarious!! The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series are seriously funny- and I think would be as funny to a 7 year old as a 70 year old! The books are filled with short, quick scenes that help the book move along at a fast pace. He is a genius.

Mrs. Miles, I'm so happy you enjoyed "Diary of a Wimpy Kid!" It is so hilarious, and I think it might be the most checked-out book in the library!

I also like diary of the wimpy kid. I read the 1,2,3 I also think that I read a couple of more but I don't remember. Those comics are funny but some aren't. Mr.Jones I didn't know that, you didn't tell us that in 3rd grade.
