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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book that teaches something valuable., July 1, 2008

This is a very sweet book. My 2-year-old daughter adores it. We bought it last year around Thanksgiving time because I wanted her to start young with an understanding that there is more to Thanksgiving than eating turkey and Grandma's jello salad. This book was absolutely wonderful. However, it need not be tucked away just for Thanksgiving. The theme of the book is that a teacher asks "Hello, Kitty" to write an essay about what she is most thankful for. The book tells the story of many things for which she is grateful, and ends by drawing the conclusion that everything she is grateful for includes her family and friends, so ultimately, that is what she writes her essay about. It is a wonderful story, and it's short enough that if your toddler keeps saying "again" at the end of the book, you'll be able to read it more than once without keeping him/her up too late at bedtime.
