About The Author

Jane Kohuth began her love affair with children's books before she could walk. At her preschool entrance interview, she introduced herself and her sister as Frances and Gloria -- Russell Hoban's iconic badger characters (she got in). She's also a big fan of Scrabble and GRE analogies, but has found that writing for kids is the most fun of all. Jane has a degree in English and Creative Writing from Brandeis University as well as a master's degree in Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School. She loves to write about sensitive kids and goofy animals, but will tackle most subjects as long as she can make the words sing. She has two books forthcoming from Random House Children's: DUCKS GO VROOM (Random House, Spring 2011) and ESTIE THE MENSCH (Fall 2011) and is represented by the Prospect Agency. She frequently brainstorms with her husband, who, conveniently, has the sense of humor of a four-year-old.
