Linda's 9-month old granddaughter is staying with us for a few days next week while her mother and father tend to work obligations. Since our children's book collection has aged up with Sophie, I just bought Mem Fox's new book, "Hello Baby." In the process, I discovered her web site & highly recommend it, in particular, check out her pages on "How To Read Aloud" and "See and Hear Mem." I'm going to be using both in the two classes that I'm teaching this summer. Here's the link:

About Me
- Penny Colman
- I have published many articles, essays, a one-act play, stories, and books. In 2001, I started teaching at Teachers College, Columbia University. Since 2003, I have been a Distinguished Lecturer at Queens College, The City University of New York. I live and write in Englewood, New Jersey. I also write at my bungalow on a barrier island off the coast of New Jersey. In my free time you might find me reading in a library or archive; wandering through a museum or historic site; exploring cemeteries to find graves of historic people I write about; going to every type of bookstore, especially used bookstores; driving on long trips; taking long walks; listening to music, kayaking; doing puzzles and playing Scrabble; and thinking and talking about ideas.
