Al Yankovic Visits Brookdale Elementary

"Weird Al" visited with students at the school on Friday afternoon.

Students at got to kick their weekends off a little early Friday with a special assembly featuring author Al Yankovic, or, as many of the parents in attendance know him better, "Weird Al."

Yankovic was in Naperville to promote his new childrens book, When I Grow Up, a story about a boy named Billy who gives a class presentation about all of the professions he has in mind for his future. He invited Brookdale students to help him recite the 850-word book.

Students greeted Yankovic with portraits they drew for the event, enjoyed a Q & A session with the author and a group of fifth graders performed a routine to his song Eat It.
