More About the Author

I'm a wife, mother of three, writer and photographer. I love to write fun stories, poems, songs, etc... I especially love to write in rhyme because I think that well written rhyme naturally teaches children to expand their vocabulary and love books and reading.

I spend my time in the wilds of northwest Montana, where there are lots of bears and animals like the ones in my bear books! I love the wilderness and all of the animals that live there. My husband and children are also avid lovers of the outdoors.

I am also an amateur photographer. Give me a camera and I'll spend hours snapping photos.

I read this to my infant and, I can't speak for her yet, but I enjoy it every time. The rhyming words lend a wonderful cadence to the reader's voice that I think she will appreciate. I like the lesson in the book as well. Calico certainly sounds like quite a handful.

We love all the Calico books! The paintings are beautiful- much better to look at than computer illustrations. We love the rhymes and have been reading it for a couple of years.
