School Visits - Visalia

I've spent the last four days visiting schools in Visalia, California.  Fun times.  The highlight of my school presentations is when I get the kids up to act out one of the Melvin books.  First, I have the them audition for the role of the bad guy by competing in an evil laugh contest.  This is something Rhode Montijo and I came up with on our first book tour back in 2006, and I've been doing it ever since.  The kids really get into it.  So do the teachers and parents.

Anyway, I'm heading back to Visalia on Monday for four more days of school visits.  Fire up for more evil laughs...Mwah ha ha!

“Mr. Trine's presentation to my son's class combined humor, inspiration, and a heart-felt reader's ethic. The kids were mesmerized.”
