About the author
Harriet Ziefert
706 books57 followersHarriet Ziefert grew up in North Bergen, New Jersey, where she attended the local schools. She graduated from Smith College, then received a Masters degree in Education from New York University.
For many years, Ziefert was an elementary school teacher. She taught most grades from kindergarten to fifth grade. "I liked it," she said, but she stopped teaching when she had her own sons. When her children were older, Ziefert wanted "a bigger arena" for her work. She went to work at a publishing company, Scholastic in New York City, developing materials for teacher's guides for kindergarten language arts and social studies programs.
"About twelve years ago," says Ziefert in a 1995 interview, "I tried to get a job as an editor, but no one would hire me as a trade editor. So I decided to write my own books." Since then, she has written several hundred books, mostly picture books and easy-to-read books. "I write books very quickly," she says, "in about twelve hours. I rewrite them three times over three days, and then they're done." She writes about twenty books a year.

July 3, 2015Great book to use to introduce and learn about the colors. An activity I would implement is having cut outs of cows, the children would color them. Then we would have our own cow parade in the classroom.

“She loves it at 14 months. In a batch of books, she picked this one out first when i brought it home from the library. At this point, she is a chain reader.”

Good book for color recognizing and counting. Preschoolers may enjoy it but there is not a real story in it.
