Artie Knapp Stories

American Writer Artie Knapp was born in Chillicothe, Ohio, in 1973.  Knapp is a member of The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, and graduated from Ohio University.  He lives in Cincinnati, Ohio with his wife, Priya.  He has kindly provided a number of stories for me to share with you and I've added a few activities to compliment the stories.
