Which is better, book or movie?📘🎦 The 3rd graders have been busy at the PES Library! Students shared who has been reading books from the Dog Man series, who has seen the new Dog Man movie, and who wants to see the Dog Man movie! More kids have read the books than seen the movie! 📘🐕Students then used inspiration from the author and illustrator of the Dog Man series, Dav Pilkey, to create their own comics! 💭 The future of readers, authors, and illustrators here in Pana is very bright!
