Carole Hamburger (Beitchman) has taught for thirty-six years in Philadelphia, where she lives with her husband, Carl. She believes that children's stories should be entertaining, enlightening and educational.

Carole is a specialist in children's development and has been featured as a guest lecturer at colleges of education throughout Pennsylvania.  She is also a consultant for Holistic Tutoring, a collective of education specialists dedicated to promoting learning through experiential exercises and motivational techniques.

THE STAR PUPIL is her first book, and she is happy to announce that Mama and Papa Dot will be expanding their family. This is the first in a series of planned books that will deal in an entertaining way with various life issues. Coming soon, their daughter's story will center on the theme of following your dreams...and then their second son's tale will follow the theme of overcoming obstacles.

Watch for the next edition by the end of this year!
