Celebrating Jean Craighead George

One of my favorite authors when I was in middle school was Jean Craighead George.  She wrote the two classics, "Julie of the Wolves", and "My Side of the Mountain".  Ms. George always featured nature and animals in her stories because of her great love for both.

This week we are reading "Cliff Hanger", one of her adventure stories she wrote for a younger audience.  "Cliff Hanger" tales place in the Grand Teton National Park.  Please take time to visit the following websites to learn more about Jean Craighead George and the Grand Teton National Park.
