About the author
Linda Hayward
181 books14 followersLinda was born in California’s Central Valley, but raised and schooled in south Alabama, during the turbulent 1960’s. Married to her high school sweetheart, she and Tom have two grandchildren, Georgia and Joshua, who give her plenty of ideas for writing children’s stories.
Her first book in the series, “Marshall Visit’s the Hospital,” Marshall leads children around a sometimes scary world, showing them there’s nothing to be afraid of in instances of doctor visits or the possibilities of staying in a hospital. In subsequent books, Marshall will show there are responsibilities to be met as a contributor to the family: caring for pets, helping others, volunteering one’s time, and even accepting a new baby into the household. It is hoped that Marshall will teach children about their world in a fun and entertaining way. The reality is, they may at sometime need to protect themselves against strangers and bullies. Marshall is here to help build their self-confidence and not make them afraid to stand up for themselves.
Marshall, will also teach the importance of staying healthy and seeing the fun in fitness.
It is Linda’s hope that children from the ages three to eight can relate and benefit from Marshall and his friend’s experiences.
Her first in a series, MARSHALL VISITS the HOSPITAL, was published and released in October 2008. Linda has worked in childcare development and has been a teacher’s assistant to first graders. She has written several short stories, for Ben Romero’s book, CHICKEN FLUFF AND OTHER STUFF, and for author, Janice Stevens’ anthology, STORIES OF SERVICE. She is currently working on a history project for the Clovis Unified School District, to be published and released in 2009.

I am not prone to reading books on arithmetic but when it is by Dr Seuss, I can make an exception. And when I can do the sums that are within the covers, it is even better!!
This is an excellent way to make learning arithmetic fun! The Crazy Cat in the Hat introduces this colourful activity book with 'Hi! I'm the Cat in the Hat, and together we're going to have lots of fun with numbers! You'll learn to add anchors, you'll learn to add ants. you'll learn to add hats and crocodile pants! There are things to count, colour and draw, so come on, what are we waiting for? Let's get started!'
And if that's not enough to get you going, it is soon time to do some arithmetical detective work by answering such questions as 'How many Wosels in closets?', 'How many Bofas on sofas?' and 'How many Zowers in showers?, all questions of course suitably illustrated with the zany creatures involved.
There are plenty of other sums to be done and also some which require the fun stickers that are included to be put in the appropriate place in certain sums and in the end the reader, or the children being read to will be able to echo Dr Seuss' final verse: 'I can add here/and all over town./I can add up/and upside down.' The latter two words relate to the challenge within the pages that have a couple of the sums done upside down.
It's all good fun and I now know that there were six Zillows on pillows!
