Kate McMullan was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1947. When she was a small child, she listened as her father read the comics aloud and her mother shared books and poems. As soon as she could, McMullan read her way through the public library. She had two guinea pigs, George and ZaaZaa, whose antics have had new life in the stories of Fluffy, the Classroom Guinea Pig, one of several series McMullan has authored.
While she has always written, McMullan began her professional life as a teacher, graduating from the University of Tulsa and Ohio State University with Bachelor's and Master's degrees, respectively, in elementary education. She taught fourth and sixth grades in inner-city Los Angeles and on an American Air Force base in Germany before becoming an editor of language arts and audiovisual materials for a New York City publishing house in 1976. Her first children's book, written as Katy Hall — her name at the time — was published one year later.
Since then, McMullan has written more than 50 books for children. Generations of children have delighted in the jokes and riddles she has written and collected (often in collaboration with Lisa Eisenberg) under the name Katy Hall; as Kate McMullan, she has written nonfiction, several popular middle-grade novels, and picture books illustrated by her husband, Jim McMullan. As K. H. McMullan, she has created the imaginative Dragon Slayers' Academy series. McMullan also teaches writing for children at New York University's School of Continuing and Professional Education and is on the faculty of the New School's MFA Writing Program.
McMullan lives in New York City and Sag Harbor, New York, with her husband, their daughter, and two cats, George and Wendy.

評分對於坎坷麯摺的人生道路而言,讀書便是最佳的潤滑劑。麵對苦難,我們苦悶、彷徨、悲傷、絕望,甚至我們低下瞭曾經高貴驕傲的頭。然而我們可否想到過書籍可以給予我們希望和勇氣,將慰藉緩緩注入我們乾枯的心田,使黑暗的天空再現光芒?讀羅曼?羅蘭創作、傅雷先生翻譯的《名人傳》,讓我們從偉人的生涯中汲取生存的力量和戰鬥的勇氣,更讓我們明白:唯有真實的苦難,纔能驅除羅曼諦剋式幻想的苦難;唯有剋服苦難的悲劇,纔能幫助我們擔當起命運的磨難。讀海倫?凱勒一個個真實而感人肺腑的故事,感受遭受不濟命運的人所具備的自強不息和從容豁達,從而讓我們在並非一帆風順的人生道路上越走越勇,做命運真正的主宰者。在書籍的帶領下,我們不斷磨煉自己的意誌,而我們的心靈也將漸漸充實成熟。
評分多讀書,可以讓你變聰明,變得有智慧去戰勝對手。書讓你變得更聰明,你就可以勇敢地麵對睏難。讓你用自己的方法來解決這個問題。這樣,你又嚮你自己的人生道路上邁齣瞭一步。

評分橋梁書,分級讀物。反正是看見這個係列的就買,沒的說的。京東之前一直缺貨,這次1111搞活動,很多書都補貨瞭。看見有就買,好多書都買重復瞭,退嗎也不劃算,隻能送人。超級鬱悶啊!不過還是有貨就忍不住收。還是那句話,有貨就買。
評分幫朋友買的,已經收到瞭
評分讀書能陶冶人的情操,給人知識和智慧。所以,我們應該多讀書,讀書能夠蕩滌浮躁的塵埃汙穢,過濾齣一股沁人心脾的靈新之氣,甚至還可以營造齣一種超凡脫俗的嫻靜氛圍。讀陶淵明的《飲酒》詩,體會“結廬在人境,而無車馬喧”那種置身鬧市卻人靜如深潭的境界,感悟作者高深、清高背後所具有的定力和毅力;讀世界經典名著《巴黎聖母院》,讓我們看到如此醜陋的卡西莫多卻能夠擁有善良美麗的心靈、淳樸真誠的品質、平靜從容的氣質和不卑不亢的風度,他的內心在時間的見證下摺射齣耀人的光彩,使我們在尋覓美的真諦的同時去追求心靈的高尚與純潔。讀王濛的《寬容的哲學》、林語堂的《生活的藝術》以及古人流傳於世的名言警句,這些都能使我們擁有誠實捨棄虛僞,擁有充實捨棄空虛,擁有踏實捨棄浮躁,平靜而坦然地度過每一個晨曦每一個黃昏。
