Charles M. Schulz was born November 25, 1922 in Minneapolis. His destiny was foreshadowed when an uncle gave him, at the age of two days, the nickname Sparky (after the racehorse Spark Plug in the newspaper strip Barney Google).

In his senior year in high school, his mother noticed an ad in a local newspaper for a correspondence school, Federal Schools (later called Art Instruction Schools). Schulz passed the talent test, completed the course and began trying, unsuccessfully, to sell gag cartoons to magazines. (His first published drawing was of his dog, Spike, and appeared in a 1937 Ripley's Believe It Or Not! installment.) Between 1948 and 1950, he succeeded in selling 17 cartoons to the Saturday Evening Post-as well as, to the local St. Paul Pioneer Press, a weekly comic feature called Li'l Folks. It was run in the women's section and paid $10 a week. After writing and drawing the feature for two years, Schulz asked for a better location in the paper or for daily exposure, as well as a raise. When he was turned down on all three counts, he quit.

He started submitting strips to the newspaper syndicates. In the spring of 1950, he received a letter from the United Feature Syndicate, announcing their interest in his submission, Li'l Folks. Schulz boarded a train in June for New York City; more interested in doing a strip than a panel, he also brought along the first installments of what would become Peanuts-and that was what sold. (The title, which Schulz loathed to his dying day, was imposed by the syndicate). The first Peanuts daily appeared October 2, 1950; the first Sunday, January 6, 1952.

Diagnosed with cancer, Schulz retired from Peanuts at the end of 1999. He died on February 13, 2000, the day before Valentine's Day-and the day before his last strip was published-having completed 17,897 daily and Sunday strips, each and every one fully written, drawn, and lettered entirely by his own hand-an unmatched achievement in comics.

This title follows Mouse as he makes valentines for all of his friends," said School Library Journal. Each valentine is made to represent what he loves most about each of his friends, such as Pig 'because she's a good dancer' and Bunny 'because she's the best at hide-and-seek.'

Laura Joffe Numeroff is the acclaimed #1 New York Times best-selling children's author of "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" and the subsequent If You Give... series. First printed in 1985, "Mouse" is now beyond its 60th printing. The fourth book in the series, "If You Take a Mouse to the Movies" was on the New York Times Children's Best Seller list for five months- nine weeks at number one.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Laura grew up as the youngest of three girls, surrounded by art, music, and books. She attended Pratt Institute and graduated with a degree in communications and a contract for her first children's book, "Amy for Short," published in 1975 by Macmillan.

In 2000, If You Give a Pig a Pancake" was featured on the Oprah show three times, and was recommended by Oprah's first kids' book club, as well as being noted as Oprah's favorite children's book of the year on her Christmas show. "Pig" was also on Publishers Weekly Bestseller List for over a year. In addition, the series has sold over 4.5 million copies, been printed in fourteen languages, and won the prestigious Quill Award in the picture book category.

An avid animal lover, Laura, with co-creator Sean Hanrahan, released "Raising a Hero," about a puppy learning to become a service dog and help children with disabilities and special needs. A portion of all sales supports Canine Companions for Independence, a non-profit providing skilled service dogs to children, adults and veterans with disabilities, free of charge.

President George W. Bush, First Lady Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton have all read Numeroff's books to children. First Lady Michelle Obama, with her mother and two daughters Malia and Sasha, read Laura's "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" at the 2010 Easter Egg Roll on the White House Lawn. Laura was one of ten children's authors invited to a literacy day in Washington during the Bush administration in 2001. Laura has also visited over 100 elementary schools and has been a speaker at teacher conferences around the country.

In addition to her work with service dogs and kids with disabilities, Laura donates a portion of her book royalties to First Book, a non-profit organization that provides brand new books to children who otherwise would not have access to them. She donated all royalties from "The Hope Tree - Kids Talk About Cancer," to the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

This simply written but subtle book became a classic not only because it legitimized children's angry feelings—and their ability to use their imaginations to deal with those feelings—but also because it showed punishment and love coexisting in a parent-child relationship. When mischievous Max, wearing his wolf suit, romps around the house and drives his mother to distraction, she calls him "Wild Thing" and sends him to bed without his supper. But in the quiet of his room, a forest grows, where claw-footed monsters with horns, Wild Things just like Max, lurk and leap. Max joins their "wild rumpus" and is made "king of all wild things," but still he misses his home. When he finally returns, he discovers his supper waiting, and it is still hot. Where the Wild Things Are, which was awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1964.

Personal reaction- I didn't actually like this book. I found it hard to believe that the main character was supposed to be in third grade when she constantly acted like a kindergartener. I didn't see that there was anything engaging about it either.

Read aloud to make curriculum connection- I honestly think that I would only read this aloud as a free read book. This book you could read before testing because younger students would probably find the things that Clementine does, funny, so reading this before a test would help calm students down and relax them.

Independent reading- I think this book is probably better for students to read on their own. It is better suited for younger grades, such as first to third. There are also other Clementine books that they could read on their own when they finish this one.

Literary elements that could be taught using the book- I think that you could talk about characterization. You can ask students why you think that Clementine acts the way she does and then have them pull events or actions she does from the story that support their argument.

Joe's lived in the same town all his life, and was doing just fine until his best friends moved away and left him on his own. Ravi's family just moved to America from India, and he's finding it pretty hard to figure out where he fits in.

Class 507 is the worst class Ms. Bryce has ever taught. And she would know -- she's been teaching forever. They are so terrible that when a science experiment goes disastrously wrong (again), Ms. Bryce has had it and quits in the middle of the lesson. But through a mix-up, the school office never finds out. Which means ... Class 507 is teacher-free!

The class figures if they don't tell anyone, it'll be one big holiday. Kyle and his friends can play games all day. Samantha decides she'll read magazines and give everyone (much needed) fashion advice. Adam can doodle everywhere without getting in trouble. Eric will be able to write stories with no one bothering him. And Maggie ... well, as the smartest kid in the class she has an ambitious plan for this epic opportunity. But can Class 507 keep the principal, the rest of the students, and their parents from finding out ... or will the greatest school year ever turn into the worst disaster in school history?

All Jeremy wants is a pair of those shoes like the ones everyone at school seems to be wearing. Though Jeremy's grandma says they don't have room for "want," just "need," when his old shoes fall apart at school, he is more determined than ever to have those shoes, even a thrift-shop pair that's the wrong size. But sore feet aren't much fun, and Jeremy soon sees that the things he has - warm boots, a loving grandma, and the chance to help a friend - are worth more than the things he wants.

I was Born on March 4th, 1957 to Lavon and Craig Carter at L.D.S. Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains, home to some of the best powder skiing in the world. I have been an artist and a skier ever since.

I was reared in Bountiful, Utah. I attended Adelaide Elementary, South Davis Junior High and graduated by the skin of my teeth from Viewmont High-school in 1975.

I attended Utah State University, in Logan, Utah, on an art scholarship. While at USU I studied illustration and art. When my money ran out I moved back to Salt Lake City where I worked in the graphic design and advertising business

until 1980.

In 1980 I moved to Los Angeles seeking fame and fortune or at least a good job. After working many jobs as a graphic designer and paste up artist, I went to work for Waldo Hunt at Intervisual Communications Inc.. Over the next 7 years, while working with I.C.I.'s creative director Jim Diaz and various other artists such as David Pelham, Jan Pienkowski and John Strejan, I learned the fine art of Paper-Engineering and Pop-Up bookmaking. I created HOW MANY BUGS IN A BOX? while at I.C.I. and I also met my wife, Noelle, there. We were married in 1985.

I left I.C.I. in 1987 to start my own business. Since then I have created more than 85 pop-up books, including the Bugs in a Box series with US and international sales of over 6.5 million copies, EASTER BUGS which was a New York Times #1 best seller for three years in a row, THE ELEMENTS OF POP-UP which was chosen as an ALA pick of the list, ONE RED DOT which was awarded the Andersen award in Italy, 600 BLACK SPOTS and WHITE NOISE which were picked as one of the 10 best illustrated books of 2007 and 2009 by the New York Times Book Review.

In 1989 our first daughter, Molly, was born. In 1990 we moved from Santa Monica to Auburn, California and in 1993 our second daughter, Emma, was born.

I work hard so that I can ski, ride roller coasters, collect wine, grow vegetables and native plants, and travel.

I believe that art is entertainment and I hope my art tickles your mind.

-David Carter

Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (24 November 1849 - 29 October 1924) was an American-English novelist and playwright. She is best known for the three children's novels Little Lord Fauntleroy (published in 1885-1886), A Little Princess (1905), and The Secret Garden (1911).

Frances Eliza Hodgson was born in Cheetham, England. After her father died in 1852, the family fell on straitened circumstances and in 1865 immigrated to the United States, settling near Knoxville, Tennessee. There Frances began writing to help earn money for the family, publishing stories in magazines from the age of 19. In 1870 her mother died, and in 1872 Frances married Swan Burnett, who became a medical doctor. The Burnetts lived for two years in Paris, where their two sons were born, before returning to the United States to live in Washington, D.C., Burnett then began to write novels, the first of which (That Lass o' Lowrie's), was published to good reviews. Little Lord Fauntleroy was published in 1886 and made her a popular writer of children's fiction, although her romantic adult novels written in the 1890s were also popular. She wrote and helped to produce stage versions of Little Lord Fauntleroy and A Little Princess.

Burnett enjoyed socializing and lived a lavish lifestyle. Beginning in the 1880s, she began to travel to England frequently and in the 1890s bought a home there where she wrote The Secret Garden. Her oldest son, Lionel, died of tuberculosis in 1890, which caused a relapse of the depression she had struggled with for much of her life. She divorced Swan Burnett in 1898, married Stephen Townsend in 1900, and divorced Townsend in 1902. A few years later she settled in Nassau County, Long Island, where she died in 1924 and is buried in Roslyn Cemetery.

In 1936 a memorial sculpture by Bessie Potter Vonnoh was erected in her honour in Central Park's Conservatory Garden. The statue depicts her two famous Secret Garden characters, Mary and Dickon.
