Reviews

“I am a first grade teacher and I used this book for PLTW (Project Lead the Way) Animal Adaptation unit for first grade and it was just perfect. It is aligned with common core standards.” Ritu Kapoor

I trained as a zoologist and zookeeper, and have been a children’s book author and presenter for over twenty years. Why do I write? Because it’s fun! What do I write about? Mostly my main interests – animals and the environment.
