Biskit Goes To School
Author "Biskit" Wade Hatch
Illustrations by Michael Powell

"This is Biskit. He is a Mountain Man. Ms. Sauls asks the class to welcome him."

So begins this fun, engaging, and educational little book about Biskit, the Mountain Man. He spends time in a modern classroom, sharing with the students the ways, tools, and customs of frontier mountain men. Written by Santa Clarita Valley artist and motivational trainer, "Biskit" Wade Hatch and illustrated by fine art artist and teacher, Michael Powell.

The first in a series about Biskit's adventures, it comes with some fun "extras." Each book is accompanied with 3 "touch and feel" items and information sheet. These include a piece of beaver fur, swatch of wool, and a small "personal" beaded suede bag. Teachers, home school educators, Scouts, and young Mountain Men enthusiasts will enjoy the book and "hands on" components.

One inset photo is of the three "hands on" pieces and the other is a watercolor of the author, Biskit, by local artist Cecily Willis.
