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.

Testimonials:
“I have been doing author visits for a long time and I have to say that this was one of the best visits I have ever had! Not only was Ms. Zachman very engaging with our students during her presentation, she also brought four hands-on experiments to do with the students. Of course, our students LOVED this but they also loved learning about food and drink myths and history because Ms. Zachman’s delivery made it so interesting! We would love to have her back any time!” Brittany Barnes, Head Librarian Lower School, Pace Academy, Atlanta, GA
