About the author
David Martin
46 books15 followersLibrarian Note: There is more than one author by this name in the Goodreads database.
Readers of David Martin's books won't be surprised when they meet the author and find that he is just as entertaining as his books - he sings, plays the guitar or the kazoo, or even juggles during his school visits. As David Martin says, "I have never minded particularly making a fool of myself," so he is never at a loss to illustrate his points or to make a connection with the kids. In his interactive sessions, he also works with students to create their own books or to produce oversized class books. The author's ease in the classroom comes from his hands-on teaching experience: he's an eighteen-year veteran of elementary and middle schools.
A native of Queens, Martin has lived in northeast Vermont with his family since 1970.

I love these super cute early readers. They're perfect for when kids are just starting to sound out words. There are a few harder words; you're supposed to provide the word if they get stuck. They have cute and colorful pictures, just a few words per page, and usually a funny ending. Little Miss loves them.
This book has four stories. They're pretty cute. Dad always seems to end up with the short end of the stick, though.
