About the Reviewer:
Trish Gardner works as an all-day Kindergarten aide at Kyrene
de los Lagos Elementary School. A former 5th and 6th grade
teacher, she is enjoying some time with the youngest students
at the school. Participating in their first steps toward literacy
and a love of reading is a true joy. Her career goal is to
work as a teacher-librarian and share that joy with children
of all ages.
Mrs. Gardner is currently attending the University of Arizona,
working on her MA degree in Information and Library Science.
As a native Arizonan, she is especially attracted to books
about the Southwest. Her children, ages 15, 12 and 8, enjoy
the books that she reads for class as well.
