"My third graders complained too much when they went to fourth grade that the fourth-grade teachers came to my room one afternoon. They stormed in and said, “What the heck is Caught'ya? Why do your students from last year complain when we assign grammar worksheets and/or pages out of the grammar book?” So, I sat down with them and did a Caught'ya lesson. They immediately went to the principal and insisted that they be able to order Caught'ya books for themselves. You see, I’ve been singing your praises for a long, long time."
-Kathy Lee, elementary school teacher

"I have been using your Caught'ya books for the past four years and let me tell you, they are great! My class consistently scores high in writing, especially state tests because, I believe, of the rich vocabulary and the well-written stories they write. This past year I moved to third grade and took with me "The Meanest Teacher." It fit my curriculum since I told my kids that I AM the "M.E.A.N. Teacher" ("making excellence a necessity"). They were so excited about having the mean teacher and then having a whole story! What fun. But, I have to say, I just received the newest...Juan and Marie..and wow! I am so impressed and so happy with this story. First, the teacher is a cool teacher from the beginning (love that). The CD...it blew me away. I can't thank you enough for that. I look forward to my new class and am so excited about what they will be learning thanks to your great work. Thank you so much."
-Stacy Kasse, third-grade teacher

"Yours is the only how-to teacher book that I've read cover to cover in the last 10 years. I love Hairy. I recently discovered Giggles in the Middle and have ordered it. I really like the companion CD idea since I use my SMART™ Board exclusively these days...In a desolate, lifeless, serious world of standards that my colleagues bemoan and administrators preach, you and your books are small green seedlings of hope."
