Tara Lazar writes quirky, humorous picture books featuring far-out places and zany characters. Her titles include 7 Ate 9: The Untold Story; The Monstore; Little Red Gliding Hood; Three Ways to Trap a Leprechaun; and many more. Tara lives in New Jersey with her husband and two daughters—but, sadly, no alien dog. Visit her online at www.taralazar.com.
