About A Picture Book Of George Washington
Review "Straightforward and informative, the brief text moves easily.... This book is an excellent resource for a first or second grade classroom or library use." --The New York Times "Facts and personality are expertly mixed...." --School Library Journal Product Description A simple presentation of his character and the major events of his life. About the Author David Adler was born April 10, 1947. He graduated Queens College in 1968 with a BA in economics and education and licenses to teach mathematics and history. He then worked for nine years as a New York City mathematics teacher. While teaching he studied at New York University and in 1971 was awarded an MBA in marketing. He began work on a PhD in marketing when inspiration struck and he wrote his first book, A LITTLE AT A TIME (Random House, 1976). Suddenly his focus changed from marketing to writing. In 1973 he married Renee Hamada, a psychologist, and in 1977 their first child, Michael was born. By that time David had written several books. He was granted a child-care leave from teaching and while Renee continued her work, David stayed home, took care of Michael, and wrote in earnest. It was during his first year on leave that he wrote CAM JANSEN AND THE MYSTERY OF THE STOLEN DIAMONDS. David's ANDY RUSSELL series was inspired by another family member and the many adventures the family had with his enthusiasm and his pets. He lives in New York State. www.davidaadler.com. John Wallner has illustrated many titles in David A. Adler's Picture Book Biography series. He lives in Maine. Alexandra Wallner's Lucy Maude Montgomery was called "gracefully written and prettily presented" by Kirkus Reviews. She is a graduate of the Pratt Institute and is known for her vivid folk art paintings. She lives in Mexico.
