Bio: Claire Griffin lives in Allentown, Pennsylvania, with her husband and two children, Liz and Will. They share their home with a silly, young golden retriever and a cranky, old, black-and-white cat who is still waiting for the dog to move out. When Claire wrote the Rollicking Rhymes series, she was teaching reading to first and second graders. Now she teaches in a middle school and writes poems that she hopes older readers will enjoy.
