    I LOVE writing stories that make children laugh and get excited about reading and drawing and writing. I also love taking naps and listening to music. Not at the same time. Well, sometimes. It depends on the song.

    I have written lottttttts of stories (over 4000!), and more than 150 of those have been made into books!

    There are How to Catch books and How to Draw books!

    Gross books and Action and Adventure books.

    Picture books and chapter books and middle grade books and lots lots more.

    My goal is to have books for all ages and reading abilities and interests.

    And, coming soon, more new books! 18,000 HOLES IN THE UNIVERSE (chapter book) in August 2024 and A VERY DINOSAUR CHRISTMAS (picture book) in September 2024!

    I AM VERY EXCITED!!!!!!!!

This wonderful and inexpensive hard bound book was thoroughly enjoyed by my grandchildren ages 7 (girl) and 5 (boy) as well as myself. The cover is very appealing and creatively done. The title has large whimsical lettering with with tiny raised green sparkly beads inside the lettering. The kids noticed that right away, and liked moving their fingers over the letters. The illustrations were fantastic throughout the story and engaging. My grand kids spent much time, as I read the text on each page, noticing every detail in the pictures. Then they took turns imagining and expressing their predictions & outcomes. The text was quite simple, however it enticed both of them want to spend much time on each page noticing the many details in the illustrations that led them wanting to express their own unique observations and thoughts. They both loved this story!
I taught first and second grade for 33 years. I wish I had this wonderful book at that time to read to my students, because I believe it would appeal to children at many different ages, grade levels, & abilities.
It is a winner in my opinion!

Love this author. I love how the pictures are so nicely put together. Children develop oral communication and critical thinking skills when I read this story. Children's imagination is developed when I read this story. Tailored age group is for kindergarten ages 4-6 year olds. Will read it when I am supply teaching.
