Poem in Fandangle Magazine
Hi, everyone. Do you like to go sledding? I thought I'd bring this to the top again since so many in the USA are being covered with snow today! I have a poem called "Too Fast!" in the January, 2007 issue of Fandangle Magazine. Nancy used a perfect piece of clipart to go with the poem.

Review for Ouch! Sunburn!
Ouch! Sunburn!, another wonderfully written book by Donna J. Shepherd, is a fun book about getting sunburned and how to avoid getting burned again. The story not only teaches kids what will happen if they get too much sun, but what to put on their burned itchy skin. The book is written in a simple fun rhyme and at the end of the book there are tips on how to keep from getting sunburned when playing outside.Kevin Scott Collier did a wonderful job on the illustrations. The artwork is colorful and simply shows how itchy sunburned skin isn’t much fun in the end.
I think this is a great book for not only kids, but parents who have children who hate to wear sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses when playing in the HOT SUMMER SUN. - VS Grenier, Editor, Stories for Children Magazine
