Books by Melanie Watt

My students need high-interest, hilarious books by a great author!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Chapman's classroom raised $473

My Students

Malanie Watt writes some hilarious books that kids really want to read!

My students are extremely wonderful kids who really want to learn.

They live in a high-poverty area and our school has over 80% free and reduced lunch count. That being said, my students want to read, write and learn. I want to make an impact on the lives of these kids through really high-quality, interesting books!

My Project

Melanie Watt writes a few different series with hilarious characters: Scaredy Squirrel is afraid of germs, people, air, and bears. He makes a plan to accomplish his goals and hilarity ensues. Chester is Melanie's cat who interrupts her writing to serve his own interests... But Melanie gets back at him! The book Have I Got a Book For You is a hilarious look at advertising and persuasive writing.

My students need high-interest books that are easier to read.

These books are hilarious and very popular with my students. They are easy to read and cause readers to giggle out loud- which I think is the best sound in the world.
