I think Brian Lies is a really good illustrator and author. He really puts a lot of hard effort into his books and the pictures he paints and drawings are amazing in its own special way. He is a very talented man. Most of all I love Bats at the Ballgame because I love the pictures in the book. He really works so hard on every book. One picture book is 60 pads of paper and drawing books. That's what I think of Brian Lies. By Caleb (3A)
An author and illustrator named Brian Lies came to our school. He drew a picture for our class of a bat hanging upside down from a tree holding a birthday cake and trying to teach a raccoon how to hang upside down. He gave it a title and the title was The BAT Day Party. And he also signed his autograph on the drawing and he gave it to our class. And, at the end of his visit, everyone lined up with sticky notes and pieces of paper for his autograph. Most of his books are about bats. He got the idea from his daughter. He showed us that to be a great writer when you grow up, you don't need to be the best writer in the class when you are young. His visit was the best! By Kamakshi (3A)
