About the Author

When Patrica McMillan was known only by her teacher-name, Mrs. McMillan, she often worked true animal facts into her make-believe stories. The weasel's winter-white coat and protective coloration laid the framework for this tale of three families. This wintry woodsy tale takes place in the tiny make-believe kingdom of Mustelida, which happens to be the scientific name for the weasel family. Written decades ago and stored amongst many other story manuscripts, Measles On Weasels is perfect for this season of snow and so it's popped into seventh place on her publication list.
