Doodle 4 Google


Dear Friends,

Last year, I was invited to create a doodle for the Google homepage. What a thrill to see my very own Google Doodle on March 20th, the day selected to mark the 40th anniversary of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. This year, Google is launching the Third Annual Doodle 4 Google competition, open to all K-12 students in the U.S. to create their own Google Doodle inspired by the theme "If I Could Do Anything, I Would..."

I am delighted to be one of the 10 Expert Jurors for the 2010 Doodle 4 Google competition. For more information on how you or your school can participate, please visit:

www.google.com/doodle4google/

I hope to see your creation among the entries!

    I wanted you to know that our Kindergarten grade level is beginning our annual author study of..none other than you! As our students begin making connections, writing stories, and wanting to know more, we'll be sure to write you back! Thanks for writing and illustrating wonderful books that inspire young children to be their own author and illustrator!

    Hi Eric

    This is probably not the right place to get the answer to this question but u might know where I can find the answer. I have 1 of your superb 2009 diaries which I purchased in Malaysia, have u released any for 2010? they are the best and brightest diary I have ever had.

    Thanks again

    Marg
