MEET THE AUTHOR

Jack Cardone

Hi, I'm Jack and I write for children. Not just silly stuff that makes them laugh, but silly stuff that makes them smarter. My motto is Laughs with a Lesson because if it doesn't REACH them, it doesn't TEACH them - and laughter is the best way I know of to hook kids into a story, all the while teaching them something without them realizing that they're learning. Works every time.
