Angela Simpson

Angela did this report for her 7th grade art class at Auburn Middle School in Auburn. Her art teachers are Mr. Verville and Mr. Dahlquist. The assignment was to choose an artist that they had not already studied in class (van Gogh, O'Keeffe, Picasso and the like were no-no's) and write a report on that artist.

Angela chose Dahlov and got an A+ for her report

And we think it's a great resource for those looking for a short review of Dahlov's life and work - 12 pages.

The Biggest Fish In The Sea Plays Mississippi
Can Broadway be far behind?

Here at Northeast Mississippi Community College, my students planned a story time for National Library Week and used Dahlov's book, The Biggest Fish In The Sea, as the the presentation.  Our first performance was out of town at another library during National Library Week. The attendance was 60+ children from area day cares and Head Start centers.  The attendance at the local performance in our town was 150+ children.  Next week we will do it one last time for a public school in the county for their K-3 grades.

The students and I had a great time performing our version of the story.  The audience was delighted—except when we got swallowed by the biggest fish and the lights were turned off.  I wish you could have seen their expressions as Tino caught some really big fish.  We started with Nemo and the Rainbow Fish and then the fish got really big.


If you ever get to NE Mississippi, please come visit us.  We would love to share our community with you.

What, Dahlov own a computer? She claims that she's too old to learn new technology. While Dahlov's word processor outlived its own manufacturer - Smith Corona - by a good fifteen years, we've managed to wean her onto an i-Book, though only for so long as we call it a word processor. The next big step is e-mail...

Until then, send your comments and queries to:
