"PAL" means Positive Attitudes for Life. We all have attitudes, we all have choices. The Pal Puppy series has a mission for all young children: to become more aware of choices. Many problems can be solved by using "common sense," but common sense isn't all that common. It is something that needs to be developed, starting at a young age. It involves choices. It involves having the proper attitude. As an Author, I want young children to have a safe place to learn an important lesson in life: Believe in yourself, make good choices. And don't rely on your peers to make important decisions for you.…mehr

"PAL" means Positive Attitudes for Life. We all have attitudes, we all have choices. The Pal Puppy series has a mission for all young children: to become more aware of choices. Many problems can be solved by using "common sense," but common sense isn't all that common. It is something that needs to be developed, starting at a young age. It involves choices. It involves having the proper attitude. As an Author, I want young children to have a safe place to learn an important lesson in life: Believe in yourself, make good choices. And don't rely on your peers to make important decisions for you. This lesson become even more important as the child gets older. Pal Puppy stories can help lay the ground work for using a good, positive attitude for life. I believe my stories can serve parents, teachers, and other role models as a kind of reference book for explaining important topics that need a special touch to enhance understanding. "Crooked" and "Lovey Dovey" represent the "pro and con" viewpoints to be considered when PAL Puppy makes a decision. PAL Puppy always ends each story by making a responsible decision using his own "PAL Puppy good sense." As children go through the decision-making process with him, they take the good decision-making skills as their own, to keep for a lifetime. My hope is that children and adults will find these stories entertaining as they explore some of the complex issues of childhood development together. Please enjoy these stories, and use them to open meaningful conversation.

Autorenporträt
Karen Laird was born and raised in Woodburn, Oregon and spent much of her adult life working in the same community. She took her first "job" looking after small children at age 12 and started working at a nursery/preschool at age 15 though a high school vocational education class. She has been working with children ever since. After finishing high school in 1975, Karen went on to college and earned a degree in Early Childhood Education. She worked as a teacher at several preschools, and then started her own daycare/preschool in 1979. Since that time, she developed her own preschool programs, including "Live and Learn Playschool," which was designed to stimulate the child's creativity and curiosity about the world around them. Story time was a part of each day. Karen used stories to illustrate ides and values, and eventually began writing her own stories dealing with issues of small children when there were no books available touching on specific ideal. Karen took up clowning in 1993, and developed a character to help tell her stories. This took Karen's to a larger audience, as she performed at parties, restaurants, daycares, schools, and parades. And put on a storytime at the Woodburn Community Center on a regular monthly basic. When the family relocated in 1996, Karen reluctantly gave up clowning, and began devoting more time to her books, along with a new batch of characters that help her tell her stories. The result is this series of books written in simple, targeted at young children who are just beginning to develop their values. This book is dedicated in loving memory of Misty, our pet, companion, protector and confidant for fifteen years. and to all the children that I hope will find inspiration from these works, as well as the many children from my teaching career who have inspired them, and to my own three sons.
