Little Skink's Tail

Janet Halfmann has been writing for children for more than twenty years and this is her 28th book. Before becoming a full-time freelance children¿s writer, she was a manager, editor, and writer of coloring and activity books for Golden Books; the editor of a national children¿s magazine; and a reporter for a daily newspaper. A member of the Society for Children¿s Book Writers and Illustrators, some of Janet¿s recent titles include Alligator at Saw Grass Road (fall 2006), Polar Bear Horizon, Canada Goose at Cattail Lane, Dolphin¹s Rescue, Red Bat at Sleepy Hollow Lane, and Pelican¿s Catch. Janet was inspired to write Little Skink¿s Tail while researching for one of her other books, Nature¿s Predators: Lizards, and for an article that she wrote for Ranger Rick, ¿Slinky Skinks.¿ Another inspiration was her granddaughter, whom she enjoys watching play dress-up and pretend. As Janet wrote the book, she pictured her granddaughter putting on and showing off each tail.Halfmann, Janet is the author of 'Little Skink's Tail ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780976882381 and ISBN 0976882388.
