Donald Crews Book Activities

This month Donald Crews is the featured author of the  The Virtual Book Club for Kids. As I was getting ready for this month’s post I had a tough time deciding which book to choose. That seems to be the case every month, doesn’t it?  There are so many great Donald Crews books and terrific activities to go along with them.  I thought I’d share some of my favorites with you. Whether you’re planning a full author study or just reading a book or two by Donald Crews, I hope these ideas give you a little inspiration.
