This comical chapter book looks at the upsides, downsides, and upside down nature of daily life with toddlers in the family.
Martha Freeman was born in Southern California in 1956. It is not actually true that pterodactyls ruled the skies then, but her three children believe this.
Martha graduated from Glenoaks Elementary, Woodrow Wilson Junior High, and Glendale High School. Until Martha came along, Glendale High's most famous graduate was a fellow named Marion Michael Morrison. He later went into the film game and changed his name to John Wayne, which you might very well do, too, if you were a boy named Marion in unenlightened times. In 1978, Martha graduated from Stanford University with a degree in history. She remains Stanford's most illustrious graduate if not its most wealthy. Stink Bomb Mom
Martha's First Book.
Martha worked as a newspaper reporter, copy editor, substitute teacher, college lecturer, advertising copywriter, and freelance magazine writer before she found her true calling as a writer of children's books in 1994. Her first book was "Stink Bomb Mom," now, tragically, out of print. She has since published 14 more books for children and as you read this, she is probably working on another one. Besides writing and visiting schools to talk to students, Martha teaches occasional classes at Penn State University, volunteers as an emergency medical technician, and works for a wonderful little company called Wall Street Communications. She is a very busy person.
Always Rachael was written by another Martha Freeman... I find it interesting how many times I enter her name somewhere and that book comes up with all of hers!
"The Trouble" series is a really fun read. The characters are interesting and the stories are engrossing.
Originally rated G by Jody Smith This book takes a funny look at life with younger brothers who are twins. The twin's speech is written phonetically and paired with the corky illustrations students will enjoy this lighthearted book.
