Melissa, Joy Cowley spoke at my daughter's school back in 1995. At that time she had only one book out for the public to buy. The rest of her books were under a company such as Wright or Rigby (I can't remember). A kindergarten teacher would most likely know about her other books. Thanks for posting this topic. I am building a new (persuasive) book list from all of the replies. Carmen
