About the Author

Megan Borgert-Spaniol is a writer and editor in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She likes to write about food, animals, and human nature. She also loves dreaming up fun characters and telling their stories.

From an early age Lisa Hunt developed a love for drawing and would stay up scribbling in her sketchbooks at night. Fast forward to the present day, Lisa lives near London and she still is still scribbling and sketching into late hours! When not at her desk, she can usually be found in the local coffee shop eating carrot cake, or on the staircase at home waggling a bit of string at an over-excitable ginger cat.

Editorial Reviews

08/01/2022

K-Gr 2—This series of early readers includes topics ranging from nature walks and pet care to helping others and practicing self-care. Featuring repetitive sentence structures and sight words, the books are designed for new and developing readers. Activities and narratives are described in short, simple sentences to help build early literacy skills. Colorful illustrations support each action, making it easy for new readers to identify what is happening. Each title ends with a question encouraging readers to think more about what they have read; for instance, "Can you think of a time you helped a friend?" A segment titled "Did You See It?" shows three images from the text, and an index of these and other words used in the story rounds out the back matter. VERDICT Recommended for school and public libraries.—Savannah Kitchens
