ReplyDeleteI learned that authors often don't think about things outside the story like who and where Adam's dad is. I also learned that where Adam started in the book was about where Douglas Evans lives. Another question I would like to ask him is what his next book is about and when it is going to come out.
I learned that Douglas Evans was a teacher for 25 years. I also learned, he traveled to all the places that Adam visited in MVP. Finally, I learned Douglas Evans got the idea for MVP from another book. My question is what did Adam do with the money he earned.
ReplyDeleteI learned that shpoke crisp was a charachter that was a real person Douglas Evans was inspired by my question is is he writing a new sequel to MVP
ReplyDeleteI learned that Douglas Evans has wrote a book that has not been published and i also learned that MVP is his favorite book that he wrote and he got a Korean copy of it. I also learned that he has a farm in England and likes to go to Greenwich, England and likes to stand on the prime meridian. I also learned that he likes Mexican food and has wrote many books and that his wife is in Finland. I had a great time to skype with Douglas Evans.

ReplyDeleteI learned that he went step by step, by publishing small stories, in to big books. I also learned that it took him three years to publish MVP. It was very interesting to skype with Douglas Evans and I'm thankful for that.
ReplyDeletei learned that Douglas Evans was a teacher and he is still a author. Also the longest book that he ever wrote was MVP. And Douglas Evans traveled to all the places Adam did in the book. also he has a house in England and his favorite food is Mexican food. Finally MVP is published in many languages some are Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. my question is when is Douglas Evans newest book going to come out
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't think that Mr. Douglas had known Roald Dahl and is producing a original book. I am at a loss for words that his consort has accommodations in Finland!
ReplyDeleteNotice anything strange about this post? No E in it!
Today when we Skyped with Douglas Evans, I learned that he is married and his wife is in Finland right now. I also learned that he made a book series called "The Elevator Family" and the family lived in a elevator. The the second to last thing I learned was that when he decided that he was going to use colors to describe things, he had a coloring box right in front of him to get the colors' names. The questions that I have are, "what was his favorite crayon color that he used?" Finally, does he like teaching or writing more (what job does he like the most)?
ReplyDeleteToday I learned that Mr. Evans likes Mexican food and was a teacher for 25 years. One question that is stuck in my mind for Mr. Evans is "What school did you go to?"
ReplyDeleteI learned that Douglas Evans's best friend was his wife. His favorite food is Mexican food. I also learned that Douglas Evans likes to stand on the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England. He is also a teacher which I thought was neat. Douglas Evans wife is in Finland which I think is cool because my dad is in Finland for work. I learned that he wrote a book called No E School and that his favorite book is MVP and longest book is MVP. Finally, I learned that Douglas Evans has a farm in England. I had an amazing time skyping with Douglas Evans.
ReplyDeleteI learned that when Douglas Evans went to all the places that that Adam did in the book and I also learned that when Douglas Evans wrote the book MVP it took him three-years. I wonder how Douglas Evans was inspired to be an author.
ReplyDeleteI learned that Douglas Evans was writing a new book, that he had written a sequel to MVP with Meredith trying to cross the world in space, and that his first book was written because he had been a just stopped being a teacher. One question I want to ask him is if he has any pets and if so, what types.
ReplyDeleteI learned that Douglas Evans made a GVP book, and his favorite food is Mexican, I also learned that he was inspired by another book to write Noe E School, I also learned it took him about 2 years to write MVP.
ReplyDeleteToday I learned that Douglas Evans likes Mexican food such as burritos and that he was a fourth grade teacher. I also learned that MVP was published in Korean to and that MVP was inspired by another book that was called around the world in eighty days which was written by Jules Vernes. He also met Roald Dahl. It was very fun to skype with Douglas Evans today.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't there :( One question I want to ask is that if he will make a sequel to MVP or if he will make a sequel for the No E book such no N, no A, no d, etc.
ReplyDeleteI learned that Douglas Evans made a GVP book. I also didn't know that he lived in CA. I would like to ask him how many books has he published.
ReplyDeleteToday I learned that Douglas Evans likes Mexican food and was a fourth grade teacher. It took 3 years to write M.V.P and he wrote many other books. Overall, it was fun to Skype with Douglas Evans and to find out how he wrote M.V.P and interesting listening about his travels.
ReplyDeleteToday we skyped with Douglas Evans. I learned that Douglas Evans likes Mexican food and owns a farm in England. I can't believe that he wrote a GVP book with Merideth traveling in space.Three years is a lot of time to write a book and that is how long it took to write MVP. It must be hard to find all that research. The book Noe School must be hard because you can't use the letter E in the entire book!What is weird is that Shypoke Crisp is a real person and Baron Von Sheepsbottom is from the internet. I wonder what inspired him to write "Elevator Family" and how long it took him to write it? Another question I had was has he been to all of the places on Adam's bucket list? Finally,has he ever had a pet, if he has for how long, what type, and how many?

ReplyDeletei enjoyed skyping with Douglas Evans because he answered so many questions. i had no clue that his favorite kind of food was Mexican. i had no idea that he had a farm in England or that he had a wife in Finland. I would wan't to skype him again.
ReplyDeleteToday, in class I learned that Douglas Evans likes Mexican food. He also taught fourth grade, but now writes books. Mr. Evans made a GVP book.
ReplyDeleteLearned that Mr.Evans made a GVP book but never got published :(.I also learned that Mr.Evans likes Mexican food.
ReplyDeleteI learned that Douglas Evans longest and most favorite book is MVP, I also learned that he made a GVP book. I have one more question for him: What college did he go it?
ReplyDeleteI really liked when we Skyped with Douglas Evans
I learned today tha MVP is probably Douglas Evans longest story he has written.
ReplyDeleteMr. Evens loves Mexican food and lives in California.
He said that he got the idea for Adam to travel around the world in 40 days from the book "Around the World in 80 days". He also made a GVP book
already. Mr. Evens is currently reading the book Peter Pan. When he was writing the book MVP he said he had to look up
what time the trains were and when the timing was. He told us that he used crayola colors because he knows
that kids love colors. One qeustion I would like to ask him is "What inspired him to be an author?".
I learned that Douglas Evans used it be a teacher. He likes Mexican food and some of the characters in his books are based on real people.
ReplyDeleteToday I learned that Douglas Evans had a farm in England and that MVP was his longest book he wrote and I also saw that there was an MVP in Korean and that was very cool.
ReplyDeleteI learned that Douglas Evans used the colors because a lot of kids love color full things and I didn't know that the illlistrator was from Japan . I also didn't there was a korean MVP book. And that he was friends with Roald Dahl.
ReplyDeleteToday I learned that Douglas Evans was a teacher before starting his life as a author, that Shypoke Crisp was based on a man he met in England, and he has a house in England. Also, he had written a sequel to MVP with Meredith trying to cross the world in space, his favorite food is Mexican, and he wrote a whole book with out using the letter “e” called the “Noe School”. Some more things are that in MVP there was a palindrome which was a whole paragraph. Douglas Evans met Ronald Dahl and used his saying “If you’re going to have a bad guy, make him real bad” which helped him come up with the personality of Baron Von Sheepsbottom, and Baron Von Sheppsbottom’s name came from a list of English names.
ReplyDeleteThe question that I have for Mr. Evans is "does he plan to stay author full time or go full time as a music composer?’. I learned a lot about Douglas Evans and look forward to reading another one of his books. :)
