Class Author – Anthony Browne

We try to instill a love of reading into every pupil at our school and one of the ways we try to encourage children to read is through exploring a range of books by the same author. In Dodd class we have been researching into the author Anthony Browne and finding out about his childhood, inspiration for writing and the books he has had published. The children have been able to recognise common themes in his books and understand the influences his childhood has had on his storylines. We have been impressed by the volume of books he has written and also by the amazing illustrations he draws for his own books. Everyone chose their favourite book by Anthony Browne for the photograph.
