About the Author :
Laura Carolfi is a children's book author who loves gardening with her four children in her New Jersey backyard. She wrote this story/song about the real hungry little gopher who ate tomatoes from her vegetable garden. Sparrows, chipmunks, and rabbits try to get into her garden, too, and the squirrels were delighted one year when she grew corn in the driveway! Laura has previously published the bilingual children's grief picture book, Tower in the Stars/Torre en las estrellas. D.E. West is a Deaf illustrator, graphic designer, creative designer, and publisher. His paintings, drawings and photography have been exhibited at national exhibitions and galleries, including the US Capitol and the International Photography Hall of Fame. West co-owns a book publishing and design company and resides in the Kansas City area with his family, a dog named Patty, and two guinea pigs named Poe and Percy.

Review :
"As a speech-language pathologist and literacy specialist: 1) I love the use of onomatopoeia! Crunch, munch, yum, squeak, cheep - this is great for kids to learn! 2) I love the use of ASL! And especially the guide at the end how to sign the words! 3) The use of rhyming is great! Did you know rhyming is the number one predictor of later reading success? If a child can learn to rhyme in preschool and kindergarten they will have more success with learning to read. 4) I love the use of adjectives. Juicy tomatoes, sweet corn, crisp lettuce. Really great descriptive words for kids to learn! 5) I like the problem solving aspect of the story. That they figured out a solution. Great modeling of problem solving skills." - Tovah Segelman Spring, MS, CCC-SLP
