Author visits:
Bridget Heos is booking school and library visits for 2011. She would love to schedule a fun, informative author visit for your group of kids.
Presentations:
Baby Bugs! In 2011, Bridget is presenting “Metamorphosis: It’s Not Just for Butterflies Anymore.” Most kids learn about butterfly metamorphosis, which makes sense. Caterpillars are cute. But lets not forget the not-so-cute baby bugs that go through metamorphosis, too, such as flies, ants, and beetles. Your kids will learn about these wierd and funny insect babies and will be treated to a larvae petting zoo.
This is a great supplement to class butterfly units or a fun science enrichment program for a school or library. It can be a stand-alone presentation or part of an author’s day. For dates and rates, contact Bridget at authorbheos-at-gmail.com.
Audience: Preschool-Eighth Grade
