About the Reviewer:
Roxy Magnuson is 21 years old and a junior at the University
of Arizona. Roxy is from Tucson but hopes to teach elementary
school in San Diego, California. She is committed to working
with young children and feels that loving to read goes hand
in hand with loving to learn. Roxy wants her future classroom
to be welcoming, creative, and inspirational. Hopefully writing
children's books lies in her future. Right now she is in the
"Children's Literature in the Classroom" course.
Aside from being an aspiring teacher, Roxy is an accomplished
dancer. Having studied dance for eighteen years, she cannot
imagine that it won't play some role in her future. She is
the youngest daughter of four and loves spending time with
her family and close friends. Living on campus at the Alpha
Delta Pi sorority house, Roxy is involved in many activities
on campus as well as off. She has always made time to work
in after school programs with children. Education is one of
her passions because the children of today are tomorrow's
future. (Spring 2002)
