About Annie Watson

I'm a mom of two, a teacher, and a writer. At last count, we had well-over 600 children's books in our home library, some of which were carefully preserved from my own childhood. Despite our magnificent collection, we still take family excursions to the bookstore or local library almost weekly. I love reading and discovering new books with my children. My first children's picture book (Is 2 A Lot?) was published in June 2019, and my second picture book (My Monster Moofy) was published in June 2021. Thank you for "following" my Amazon page!

Is 2 a Lot: An Adventure With Numbers Jun 4, 2019

by Annie Watson, Rebecca Evans

( 21 )

$9.45

**** 2020 Mathical Book Honor Book

Two is not a lot of pennies, but it is a lot of smelly skunks. Ten is not a lot of popcorn pieces, but it is a lot of chomping dinosaurs. One thousand is not a lot of grains of sand, but it is a lot of hot air balloons!

While Joey’s mom explains the context of numbers in vivid ways, Joey’s imagination transforms their ordinary car ride into a magical odyssey through a land of make-believe.

Is Two a Lot? is a wonderfully charming and authentic exchange between mother and child. Annie Watson’s story makes numbers tangible, and Rebecca Evans’s illustrations bring them to life.

My Monster Moofy Jun 1, 2021

by Annie Watson, Eric Zelz

( 6 )

$10.67

There’s a monster under my bed who changes like a chameleon. He can be motionless like a rock with a tail, or he can strike with blinding speed, like a lightning bolt with claws. My monster’s name is Moofy. His ears are as pointy as tortilla chips. His tongue is as pink as bubblegum, and his teeth are as sharp as swords. By day, Moofy is a fur rug in the sunshine. By night, he’s a pair of glowing headlights in the darkness.

With those opening lines, we’ve already encountered similes using like, similes using as, and metaphors.

Personifications, idioms, hyperboles, allusions, and much more lie ahead. But this isn’t a writing guide, it’s a picture book story about a little monster who oozes personality. The first pages leave us guessing, but kids will soon figure out, to their delight, that Moofy’s a cat. And what else could this furball of mischief be?

Fun is the order of the day, but an unobtrusive banner on each page lets interested readers know which figure of speech is being featured. This is a book a young reader and future writer can grow with.
