My exciting new Children's Chapter Books from National Geographic!

These well-designed books will appeal to beginning readers, pet owners, and animal lovers alike. Each volume contains three true stories. APE ESCAPES! focuses on naughty animals, including: an orangutan escape artist, a mischevious pup, and a real-life cat burglar. Kids will see themselves in these true tales of well-meaning critters that sometimes goof up but are always lovable and loyal.

ANIMAL SUPERSTARS has a different theme--show business! It features the life stories of a dog that rides motocross, a groundhog weather forecaster, and a guitar-playing kitty. Both books are illustrated with fabulous photographs. Aline has been writing for NatGeo pubs since 1998. In that time, she has culled through many hundreds of animal tales. APE ESCAPES! and ANIMAL SUPERSTARS each showcase three of the best. You can order both titles here on the BOOKS tab.

Introducing Aline...

Hi. I'm a freelance writer and certified teacher in snowy northern New York. It's a great combination. Beside writing books, I also write stories and articles for NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC KIDS, HIGHLIGHTS FOR CHILDREN, BOY'S LIFE, AMERICAN GIRL, and other wonderful children's magazines. I also write for adults and have over a decade of writing both my own bylined stories and ghostwriting other people's stories for GUIDEPOSTS, which was voted America's favorite inspirational magazine.

My work has been translated into 22 languages, including Japanese, Turkish, and Spanish and is often reprinted in educational material.

If you'd like me to write for you, teach a workshop, or visit your school, just ask. I'd love to hear from you.
