For Educators
There’s No Ham in Hamburgers is stuffed full of curriculum tie-ins. To find out all the ways it can be used in the classroom, check out these guides.
There’s No Cream in Cream Soda is brimming with science and history facts. This activity tests general beverage knowledge. It’s perfect for trivia fans.
The science and history in both books make for fun, engaging, and educational author presentations. I’m scheduling author visits for the 2024-2025 school year now.
