Author Profile

Here is one book that i just heard about like 2 years ago at Palo Alto College. My fundamentals math teacher shared it with the class and I absolutely loved it. "Math Curse" is the name of the book. It is perfect to share it when teaching math in school. Turns out that it is the same author who wrote "The True Story of the Three Pigs". His name is Jon Scieszka and he is very clever and a humorous guy. I loved "Math Curse" because it creates a world where everything is a problem and everyday we have to solve a problem related to math. It was funny. In this website, you will find all the books he wrote and a biography about the author.

I think that the book Charlotte's Web is a great story for all ages. I remember reading this in elementary. It has to be one of my greatest children's book literature. It has great morals and lessons about friendship and loyalty. E.B. White did a phenomenal job on this book. The book earned him some awards. He got his ideas from his very own farm. He also wrote the book Stuart Little.
