NEW BOOKS Welcome to my website - I'm so glad you're here! I've always loved a good story - there's something magical that happens when you open a book and are suddenly whisked off to a different place or another time where just about anything can happen... Stories make imagination real. **************************************** I'm very excited about my four NEW books in the Read It! Readers series. The stories combine leveled reading with math concepts of addition, subtraction, measurements, fractions, weight, and temperature. See books at left. Continue down the column for my early reader book, The Giant Jelly Bean Jar, and then a few of my chapter books like The Hot Shots, which are perfect for older readers. **************************************** I've written more than 40 other picture books, chapter books, activity books and magazine stories.
