This website is the Pat Hutchins page from the Internet School Library Media Center. It is a webpage which contains links to several other websites that librarians, teachers, parents, and students may find interesting and useful.

There are four links to biographies written by different writers, several lists of books written by Hutchins, and quite a few links to lesson plans that use literature written by this author. The lesson plans are mostly for students in grades kindergarten through third, but there is one lesson plan for fifth and sixth grade. These lessons are very hands-on and are not only about literature. A few of the lessons are for math classes.
