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!

Description

Peter and the Whimper-Whineys is about a small rabbit who whines all the time. His mother cautions him that if he keeps on whining and crying, he’ll have to go live with the Whimper-Whineys. One night Peter hops into the dark forest. He meets some Whimper-Whineymen and discovers that not only do the Whimper-Whineys whine all the time, but they are very ill-mannered and rude. He discovers that everything is sour in Whimper-Whineyland and decides his mother was right! If only he can get back home… a recent critique, “Though there are other books out there for children about whining, I cannot imagine any parent or guardian not wanting to read this book to their child!... Parents everywhere applaud you!”

Reviews

Reviewed by Max Aures (age 4.5) and Mom for Reader Views (5/11) Max‟s comments: "In the beginning of the book, the girl Elisabeth wasn‟t a very nice girl. She did a lot of naughty things and it says that she never said „please‟ or „thank you.‟ Lots of people didn‟t want to play with her. She didn‟t share things. I wouldn‟t want to play with her either. When she had a party no one wanted to come. They didn‟t like her very much. Then, her mom told her to start saying „please‟ and „thank you.‟ My favorite part of the book was when she said „please‟ at school. I think those kids almost fell over when she said that because she never does!" Parent‟s comments: "The Magic Word" is a wonderful book to teach young children the importance of having good manners. Cannon uses the main character to illustrate what happens when good manners are not exercised and then shows how things change when manners are used. My child was able to relate to the characters and we really enjoyed the lesson taught in the book.
