About the author

Here's everything you wanted to know about me...and probably a lot you didn't.

THE BASICS. I'm older than I act, red haired (usually), and excessively fond of chocolate. I work in textbook publishing, so I'm partially to blame for killer backpack syndrome. Sorry.

I love to sing, and have been known to act. I'd like to be on Broadway, but the closest I've ever come was reality TV. Finally, I'm the mother of three exceptionally handsome and talented sons. I say this with the sole purpose of embarrassing them. My husband is a dentist who really would like to be Doc Holliday, and I'm the love object of a 90-pound mutt of dubious heritage.

Reviews

[Cosette]

My daughter pointed out, "It has rhyming couplets!"

[Marianne (Mia) Emery]

This is a rhyming book about a boy who goes fishing and plays with the nature around him. He plays so much, he forgets to go fishing.

[Gray]

I've always loved this one. The pictures and the story.
