About the Reviewer:
Stephanie Star is presently participating in the Teacher
Education Program at the University of Arizona. She plans
to graduate with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education
in December of 2001. Her goal is to teach young children how
much fun it is to learn. Stephanie lives in Tucson, Arizona
with her husband Keith Fligg and their four dogs, Sadie, Merlin,
Ruby and Dudley. Her interests include hiking in the mountains,
watching Star Trek and reading mystery novels. Her favorite
times are those spent with her husband and the dogs. Stephanie's
involvement in the Children's Literature course offered at
the U of A has sparked an interest in her to pursue the possibility
of writing and illustrating a book for children. Her hope
is to find a way to motivate children towards a more loving
and caring attitude about the world that they live in and
the people that live in it. (April, 2000)
