We did an Author study on Jan Brett who is also a wonderful illustrator. Each one of her books has a story behind it about a place she traveled or life stories.  For instance "The Hat" is about a Hedge hog who gets stuck in a mitten and she actually had a Hedge hot named Buffy who they lost for a few hours and found him stuck inside a slipper sock.  Her pictures are wonderful and she includes side pictures in each of her books that forshadow what is coming up on the next page or gives little clues to what is happening in the story.  the kids really had fun with them and enjoy them.  So if you looking for an Author Study she is a great one to do.
