About the Author

Judith Sauer’s love for children’s literature and writing was manifested throughout her early life and continued during her thirty years working as an elementary school teacher and school administrator in Normal, Illinois and Naples, Florida. As a young mother of two, she often would sit and write down ideas and create stories to read to them. This love for writing has continued over the years to the present. Her desire here was to create a story in poetic form, that would involve the children in the “reading aloud “ time to be able to anticipate and take part in it, and thus, she has incorporated predictive text in MRS.
