About
I am a mother of four and a grandmother of ten. I have written eleven published rhymed children’s stories and two poetry books which have won 90 awards. Peter and the Whimper-Whineys, The Magic Word, Santa's Birthday Gift, Gimme-Jimmy. Manner-Man, My Fingerpaint Masterpiece, Mice & Spiders & Webs...Oh My!. The Golden Rule, My Little Angel, A Penny for Your Thougts, A Dime is a Sign, David's ADHD and Peter and the Whimper-Whineys Coloring Book which has just been released. I also have written seven published and internationally performed musical plays for elementary school children. I love to write. My friends and family ask me if I think in rhyme and meter, and I have to admit that sometimes this is true! A former teacher, all of my books are in rhyme and all try to teach something like good manners and caring for others. I have had a varied career. I grew up in the Willard Hotel in Washington DC (my Dad was the manager) and lived in the DC area where I was a teacher and coach for ten years; and then became a professional newspaper sports photographer and columnist for several years. Later, I became a Dinner Theatre Company Stage Manager, and finally became a Business Administrator. My husband and celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary in June! We are now retired, and we travel in our RV from the east coast to the west coast each year to spend time with our children and grandchildren... sharing my books along the way!

Reviews
<p>Mice & Spiders & Webs...Oh My! is a children's book for kids from kindergarten to third grade written by Sherrill S. Cannon and <span style="line-height:1.6em;">illustrated by Kalpart. Rosemary has always loved going to school, so her mother is somewhat confused why she's determine </span><span style="line-height:1.6em;">not to go anymore. Rosemary explains that her teacher said that there will be mice and spiders with webs. Even though Rosemary </span><span style="line-height:1.6em;">has always wanted a pet, mice and spiders are not really the kinds of pets she wants to have around her. She also thinks it's really </span><span style="line-height:1.6em;">unfair that only the girls in class will have to deal with the new pets. Rosemary's mom offers to go to class with her and have a talk </span><span style="line-height:1.6em;">with her teacher, Ms. Eddy.</span></p>
<p>Sherrill S. Cannon's children's educational book, Mice & Spiders & Webs...Oh My!, is a fun and easy to understand introduction to <span style="line-height:1.6em;">computers, and it works marvelously. When Rosemary and her mom get to school, they learn that the mouse Rosemary is worried </span><span style="line-height:1.6em;">about will help her with the class's new computer, and that the web is a whole new way for her to communicate with kids in other </span><span style="line-height:1.6em;">schools. Cannon's verse is breezy and smooth, with rhymes that are clever and witty, and Kalpart's illustrations are bright and </span><span style="line-height:1.6em;">cheerful, especially those featuring the mice scampering on the classroom desk and the spider that Rosemary dreads. While the </span><span style="line-height:1.6em;">nature and animal geek in me was somewhat disappointed that Mice & Spiders & Webs...Oh My! didn't feature a tarantula and </span><span style="line-height:1.6em;">mice for classroom pets, the techie in me was thrilled with this literate and rhymed primer to computing.</span></p>
<p>Mice & Spiders & Webs...Oh My! is highly recommended. </p>
