More About the Author
Jean Marzollo was born and raised in Manchester, Connecticut.
She says, "As a child, I loved to read and sew dolls' clothes, one outfit after another. I am a graduate of Manchester High School, the University of Connecticut, and the Harvard Graduate School of Education. After working as a high school English teacher and editor of Scholastic's "Let's Find Out" kindergarten magazine with Carol Devine Carson for 20 years, I began writing children's books. I have written over 130 books, including the award-winning, best-selling I SPY series for children, written completely in rhythm and rhyme. Rhythm and rhyme are like music without the tune; they lure and excite the ear. Children love rhythm and rhyme, and so do I. Do you know that I SPY actually has the same rhythm as "Old Mother Hubbard" and also rap? I treasure the beautiful, intricate photographs by Walter Wick in the I SPY books. When I wrote the first I SPY book, I automatically thought of kindergarten children so everything that I called for was concrete, something a 5-year-old can find. The result is a hunting game that children and grownups can play together successfully. Sometimes children are better than their parents! In recent years I took up painting and have begun to illustrate my own "books on paper" and "books online." You can see them on my website: jeanmarzollo.com. Writing and illustrating picture books today is as much fun as sewing dolls' clothes was when I was in third grade. As soon as I'm done with one book, I'm happily compelled to start the next."

Too cute for the cat lover,
By
This review is from: Valentine Cats (Read with Me Cartwheel Books (Scholastic Paperback)) (Paperback)
This book is too cute for a cat lover. It shows artist cats, writer cats, postal cats and how they make valentines, with cute illustrations, and a cute chant.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Fun and quick read for children,
This review is from: Valentine Cats (Read with Me Cartwheel Books (Scholastic Paperback)) (Paperback)
"Valentine Cats" by Jean Marzollo is a quick book to read, and my preschool daughter enjoys it. There is enough repetition of the words that you can point out a common word, such as "cat" for your child to find and read on their own on the next page.Our favorite part of the book is the page that shows some of the valentines spread about on the table and floor -- the cats have written funny messages on their valentines.
