Can Olive and Beatrix stop the blob before it swallows up the school?

Praise for The Not-So Itty-Bitty Spiders:

"There is a breezy humor to the dialogue, and some laugh out loud commentary by Beatrix's sardonic pet pig. New readers will find satisfaction in being able to handle a longer book. There are sure to be requests for the planned sequel." -- School Library Connection

Praise for The Super-Smelly Moldy Blob:

“The story has imaginative action and characters that model working together and respecting each other's talents despite philosophical differences…The book's visual format is lively, combining spot illustrations with full-page and double-page spreads and dialogue bubbles. Visually lively with an engaging story.” -- Kirkus

Praise for Branches books:

"These books should be considered for larger libraries wanting to enhance their easy-reader collections." -- School Library Journal

"A nice stepping stone to more advanced chapter books." -- Booklist
 

Amy Marie Stadelmann loved to use her imagination to write and illustrate storybooks for fun when she was a child. In fact, it was so much fun, she decided to do it as an adult as well. Amy works on Nick Jr. preschool programs like The Wonder Pets! and Team Umizoomi. She lives in Brooklyn, NY where she enjoys sunny days, mugs of hot cocoa and giving hugs to her grumpy pet rabbit, Oswald. Olive & Beatrix is her first series.
