KIDS/TEACHERS:  Can't Keep Trackula of Jackula started off as a picture book.  Several editors told me I should expand it into a chapter book. Take a peek here to see it as a picture book.

This was my first book!  I was lucky to have the opportunity to write it for Scholastic with my husband who is a huge Peanuts fan!   Although you couldn't buy it in stores, it was available in Scholastic's Book Club flyer as a "Club" book.  That means that the series was delivered to your home throughout the year.  Growing up, I loved ordering from the Scholastic book order and can still remember the first books I ever ordered: The Five Chinese Brothers and Mother, Mother I Feel Sick, Send for the Doctor Quick, Quick, Quick.

When it came out, I was a librarian at Liberty Corner School in Basking Ridge, NJ. Lots of my students rushed to see me when they got their order form and shouted, "You're famous!"  I wasn't famous but seeing my book in the Scholastic flyer made me feel like a rock star!

 


Although I didn't write the five books below, I had to REWRITE them for the US market.
