Judy Bloom

In an earlier entry, I wrote about the author Laura Numeroff who I like. Another amazing children's literature author is Judy Bloom. She is such a diverse author who writes everything from picture books to middle grade books. Some things I learned about Judy Bloom through her website are she dreamed of being a cowgirl when she was a child, many of her stories are set in New Jersey because thats where she grew up, and more than 80 million copies of her books have been sold. My favorite book by Judy Bloom is "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret". My mom gave me this book to read when I was in fifth grade and I absolutly loved it. It is about how a young girl grows up. I might even read it again for one of my outside reading assignments. If you want to learn more about Judy Bloom her website is http://www.judyblume.com/home.php.
