Two Frogs on a Bike

By Rebecca Pempek and Sandra Ames

After over fifty years of teaching, I have learned what makes children want to read. The words should be repetitive and interesting. The story line should teach a concept or provide information about an event or happening. From a teachers perspective the book should provide an opportunity for teaching reading. This book shows that PH and F have the same sound as well as IE and Y.

Rebecca Pempek

Sandra grew up in Putnam, Connecticut where she was a student in the class of Gertrude Warner, author of the Boxcar Children series. The first book in the series was published when Sandra was in Miss Warner’s first grade class in 1942. Miss Warner became her mentor, first as teacher then as author. Sandra became a teacher before trying her hand at publishing. She says, “After keeping my promise to myself to become a teacher, and teaching for 57 years, I decided I should keep my second promise—to become a published author, just like my mentor. Miss Warner took time to pique the interest of children. We experienced the learning.” Mrs. Ames is continuing her teaching career and now taking time to write children’s stories. She lives in Putnam, Connecticut where she enjoys the rural life of her childhood. She desires to share the simple things of life with her reading audience. “Nature has a way of bringing things together and teaching us lessons,” she says.
