    I LOVE writing stories that make children laugh and get excited about reading and drawing and writing. I also love taking naps and listening to music. Not at the same time. Well, sometimes. It depends on the song.

    I have written lottttttts of stories (over 4000!), and more than 150 of those have been made into books!

    There are How to Catch books and How to Draw books!

    Gross books and Action and Adventure books.

    Picture books and chapter books and middle grade books and lots lots more.

    My goal is to have books for all ages and reading abilities and interests.

    And, coming soon, more new books! 18,000 HOLES IN THE UNIVERSE (chapter book) in August 2024 and A VERY DINOSAUR CHRISTMAS (picture book) in September 2024!

    I AM VERY EXCITED!!!!!!!!

My boys love the How to Catch collection. We have a few others so I just had to buy this one. It’s such a silly and unique plot. My boys really enjoyed it and laughed a few times. It’s completely different to the usual Turkey running away to avoid getting eaten.

This book is a fun Thanksgiving book to read with young children. The children I purchased the book for have really enjoyed reading it. Thanksgiving has now passed but we read it again today. It is a cute book for preschool and elementary aged children. It would also be a nice book for a school classroom.

I am going to look at the other How to Catch a..... books by this author.

Illustrations and story line are enjoyed by my grandson. don't expect this book to be educational but if your child enjoys silliness they will be entertained and ask for the book to be read on repeat as my grandson does and the pictures can be enjoyed by children who do not yet read.
