Buck Wilder Visits Central Lyon
Tim Smith, author of the Buck Wilder book series, visited Central Lyon on Wednesday, January 19, 2011. "Buck Wilder" presented a motivational and entertaining presentation that inspired the students to read, write, use their imagination, and most importantly believe in themselves.
Tim Smith shared his vast knowledge of how he became an author and how much fun it is to try something new...even when others laugh at you. The Buck Wilder Adventures early reader series takes children on an outdoor adventure that leads to an important natural world message, plus a secret message is hidden in the pages. Mr. Smith shared with the kids, that he likes his books to be more than just something you can read. He hides a little critter, Fuzzy, on every page of his books for the kids to try and find. Also, his books have something called, Flicker-Page Animation. When the kids flip through the pages, an animal appears to be moving.
Our school has a complete set of "Buck Wilder" books for the kids to check out. You can check out Buck Wilder's Web Site (www.buckwilder.com) for more information about the author and see some more pages from his books.
