Andrew, In doing a search to determine if I want to post my materials for Where the Red Fern Grows, I came across your file and see that you have written "The novel features a young boy, growing up in the Ozark Mountains, who falls in life with the two coons that he has paid for with his own money: Old Dan and Little Ann." You might want to change that to . . . "who falls in love with the two coonhounds that he bought with his own money." Customers spot these things right away. I'm sure you have a fine product that many teachers would enjoy using. Hopefully, this little change will draw interest and sales!

My experience as a camp administrator and school teachers have both influenced my content development work. Students have to have a good time while they are learning or it'll be difficult to learn. I have worked with pre-schoolers, elementary school students, middle school students, high school students and post college graduates.
