Bill Peet Can't be Beat!!!


As our end of the year author study, we are delving into the world of the fabulous, Bill Peet.  This author/illustrator/film maker has written and illustrated over 30 children's books, as well as contributed to Disney classics, such as 101 Dalmatians, The Sword and the Stone, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Pinocchio, and Sleeping Beauty.  










We have just begun to explore the amazing stories of Mr. Peet, but already we are recognizing common themes, like realizing we are all special in our own way and the importance of showing gratitude and generosity.  It is obvious that Bill Peet was a very special man with many important, worthwhile messages to share with his readers.   We look forward to our continued exploration of the wonderful world of Bill Peet!
