Mike Artell's Visit to DC

     Author and illustrator Mike Artell visited the South Sioux City Elementary Schools May 2-4. He was greeted with great enthusiasm by staff and students alike. His program was entertaining, informative, and much too short! The students applauded his reading of Petite Rouge - complete with Cajun accent, giggled through repeating his tongue twisters, were amazed at their own artistic ventures into cartooning with Mike's help, and "ewwwed" their way through Backyard Bloodsuckers.

Thanks for the "Dakota Toon," Mike.
