Mia Coulton was formerly a Reading Recovery teacher in Shaker Heights, Ohio. She developed the "Danny Series" by combining her love of teaching with her lifelong passion for pets.

Mia has written books that will capture your readers' imaginations and stimulate their interest in reading.

"This has been a labor of love for me (possibly not for Danny) and I intend to write more books focused on Danny's escapades," she says.

"I will also continue to solicit input from colleagues to assure that I produce books that are helpful and fun to read."

Why they work

Spacing

At MaryRuth Books, we pay special attention to the way our text is spaced. Appropriate spacing enhances word recognition for the emerging reader.

Photographs

The reader is immediately drawn into the books by the fun and endearing full color photographs that help to tell familiar stories.

Word Selection

The books use high frequency words and natural oral language.
