About the Reviewer:

Kristin Fahlbusch is currently a junior at the University of Arizona. She is originally from Chicago and is currently enjoying all that Tucson and the beautiful Southwest has to offer, especially the great weather. Kristin chose her major of Elementary Education after working with children in a program called "Reading Buddies" at Illinois State University. Kristin is in the College of Education and is eager to start working with children in the classroom. Kristin's favorite subjects have always been reading and writing, so the Children's Literature in the Classroom course has been nothing but enjoyable and inspiring. Reading and teaching children and receiving an enthusiastic response is what drives Kristin to the profession of teaching. Kristin hopes to teach second or third grade after graduation, but will go anywhere in the United States that needs her passion for life and learning. (Spring 2002)
