Her young adult novels (Diary of a Teenage Girl, TrueColors etc.) appeal to teenage girls around the world. Her annual Christmas novellas become more popular each year. She's won a number of awards (including the Rita and Gold Medallion) and some of her books have been optioned for film/TV.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adorable story with a moral, April 7, 2005

This review is from: Bitsy's Harvest Party (Carlson, Melody) (Hardcover)

Bitsy Spider moves into a new house and wants to have a housewarming party. Not sure what makes a fun party, Bitsy decides to ask her friends. Of course, each one has a different idea, which only leaves Bitsy more confused. Since she isn't good at any of the things her friends suggested would make a fun party, Bitsy decides to give up and cancel the party. Bitsy's friends come to the rescue and a wonderful time is had by all.

This is a wonderfully delightful, beautifully illustrated story. My 11 yr. old little girl loved it, so it's not just for smaller kids. And it has a moral, too! Each person has special gifts and when we all use our gifts to help each other, life can be fun for all of us. A story all little kids should have on their bookshelf.
