More About the Author

Ellen Weiss has lost count of how many kids' books she's written, that's how long she's been doing it. There are probably over 200, from board books to chapter books to middle-grade novels, fiction and nonfiction, silly and serious. They have won many awards, and have been adapted into a Disney TV movie and a BBC radio play. Two of them, THE TAMING OF LOLA and PORKY AND BESS, were named Bank Street Best Books of 2010. She loves to collaborate, and she often writes with her husband, Mel Friedman. She also loves to rescue stray dogs, but she had to stop when the aforementioned Mel Friedman told her he would divorce her if she brought home one more filthy, un-housebroken, weird mutt.

This review is from: I Don't Want to Go to School!: A Fold-Out Surprise Book (PBS Kids) (Hardcover)

As a school counselor, I purchased this book for my schools that I service for young learners who are experiencing separation anxiety and not wanting to go to school. It is an easy read and understandable by a preschooler and kindergartener. It allows parents to talk to their child about going to school. Even the kindergarten teacher borrowed it to share with the entire class! Great storyline and book is illustrated beautifully.
