Author, Alumnus Jancee Dunn Returns To Chatham School

CHATHAM, NJ - Author, journalist, former MTV veejay and Southern Boulevard alumnus Jancee Dunn returned to haunt the halls of her old school to share her thoughts on the writing process with the new generation.

Dunn spoke to the students about her book"I'm Afraid Your Teddy is in Trouble Today."

The book tells the story of what toys do when your back is turned. What if a teddy bear invited all his stuffed animal friends over? Imagine the wild party that might ensue, complete with jumping on the bed, coloring on the walls, dressing up in Mom’s clothes, having a bubble-bath sliding contest in the hall, sledding down a “cushion mountain” on a cookie tray.

According to Library Media Specialist Michael D'Aloia, the first graders at Southern Boulevard School enjoyed her visit immensely.
