She then went on to earn her master's degree in reading and language development at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
Currently she teaches in the same public elementary school she attended as a child in the Los Angeles area. She has been a kindergarten and first-grade teacher there for more than fifteen years and is very involved in the school community, as both a teacher and a parent. Her two young children also attend the school where she teaches. In addition, she is a “teacher-leader” in her district, and over the years, she has presented many staff development workshops both at the district level and at her school site that centered on reading, writing, and literacy. She has been a presenter at national conferences as well.
In her first published series, Ready, Freddy!, Klein brings just the right amount of true-to-life humor and drama.

Utterly authentic and drawn from real experience in the classroom, Abby Klein knows exactly what first graders are thinking.
She lives in Los Angeles, California, with her husband, two children, and three dogs. She thinks there's nothing better than a good book, and she loves reading aloud to children.

I really enjoy these books and read them to my 6 year old son. I am only at the beginning of the series but I'm concerned with all of the name calling. I feel like on every page someone is being called stupid, a baby, a brat. I usually skip over these because I don't want my son to emulate this behavior. I am hopeful that the books later on in the series have less of this? Otherwise we enjoy the books and they have a good message.

The kids are going to ride in a bike-a-thon to help the local animal shelter. The problem? Only 2 wheelers are allowed, and Freddy doesn't know how to ride without training wheels yet!
