About the author

I write. I teach. I teach writing. I write about teaching. I read about writing and write about reading and teach about both when not dealing with the paperwork being a high school educator demands in our current political clime. I'm National Board Certified in my discipline (English).

I've won awards, published constantly since 1989, and just wrapped up a two-year tenure as the editor and designer of Pine Whispers (the newsletter for the North Carolina Poetry Society).

I make time for reflection, which comes in handy with all of the hats I wear. I also buy, sell and collect pop culture items ... from books and comics, to lunch boxes and action figures.

And if you've read this far, please accept my humble thanks.

This children's chapter book is based on the first half of Season 1, Episode 16 of SpongeBob, where SpongeBob planned the 'World's Greatest Valentine' for his best friend Patrick. Patrick was very excited about the gift when but when things don't go as planned... it left Patrick feeling heartbroken and (hulk-level) angry!

Part of a personal challenge to read all of my boyfriend's and his sister's childhood books before we donate and give them away.

Another fun adaption into a chapter book.

Like the previous book in the series, this is a quick and easy read that young readers won't have difficulty with. Unlike the previous books in the series, it does not follow the same title as the episode it is based on. I'm not a big Patrick fan, but I do like that SpongeBob takes his best friend's Valentine's Day business meticulously. This is SpongeBob we're talking about, because of that, things don't go as planned, and Patrick is displeased at SpongeBob for not getting him a Valentine's gift—even more after he learns practically everyone in Bikini Bottom has gotten a gift from his best friend.

Note: Using new rating system starting 2025.
