She also wanted to be a spy, a psychiatrist, and second baseman for the Kansas City Royals.Those last three haven’t happened, but she is a writer and illustrator who has published twenty-five books for children. She has received the William Allen White Award and two Kansas Notable Books awards. Lisa Harkrader lives in Tonganoxie, Kansas, with her husband and two children. And she still wants to be a spy.
It would be 5 stars if I had found this book in the late 1990s. Some material in it is now dated since its been over 20 years since publication. Otherwise, the activities and general information are really good for kids 5+
