About the Author
School Zone Publishing Company began as The School Zone Learning Center in 1972. The Learning Center was a retail teachers supply outlet, specializing in sales to teachers, with two stores in Grand Rapids, Michigan. About 1974, schools instituted changes in educational methods that affected the home and schools. Changes included introducing new teaching methods in math and English and eliminating workbooks provided on a shared basis for home use. With these changes, parents experienced difficulty finding educational material for use at home. Local parents turned to the Learning Centers, requesting workbooks and other at-home teaching aids. In response, the Centers formulated six workbooks and printed 1,000 copies of each. The books sold out in six months. An expanded workbook series was developed and received equally enthusiastic acceptance. School Zone Publishing Company was incorporated in 1979. A new line of workbooks had been written and illustrated by late 1979. In January 1980, the line was printed and School Zone began operations. Market response was extremely favorable. The product line has expanded yearly and currently includes almost two hundred educational products.

Fun Romp for Young Readers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nine Men Chase a Hen, Level 1 (Paperback)
My daughter is just learning to read, so she can manage only the simplest text when reading a book herself. However, she still wants a good story that will hold her interest. "Nine Men Chase a Hen" was the perfect combination of silliness and simplicty for her to both manage the book on her own and to enjoy the aburd text and illustrations.

Delightfully Zany,
By
This review is from: Nine Men Chase a Hen, Level 1 (Paperback)
This is a delightfully zany start-to-read book, with few words, strong plot, rhyme, and even numbers that progress from one to ten. The conflict between the men and the hens alternates, back and forth, back and forth, and escalates until, finally, the hens win and peace is restored. The illustrations are fantastic and perfect! Funny!

Nine Men Chase a Hen,
This review is from: Nine Men Chase a Hen, Level 1 (Paperback)
I teach kids w/ special needs (MR and LD). This is a great book for developing phonemic awareness and for children to see rhyming words in pring. Very few words on a pg and funny illustrations.
