About the Reviewer:
I, Amber Morris, am a junior Elementary Education major at
the University of Arizona. I currently work with three and
four-year-olds at my church, Sun and Shield Baptist, in Marana.
I have taught in daycare and have had the desire to be a teacher
since as early I can remember. I am thrilled with the thought
that next year I will be within a local classroom observing,
experiencing, teaching, and learning. As a teacher, I hope
to incorporate literature throughout my curriculum and to
encourage children to experience reading as an active past
time and not a passive one. I believe that if "the life is
in the blood" then "learning is in the book." (April, 2000)
