Lizard Problems by Jacqueline Adams 1 My problems started when I learned that Mrs. Reno would be my fourth-grade teacher. She had a lizard in her classroom, and lizards were on my list of terrifying things. And it wasn’t a little lizard. It was a Uromastyx,aslongasmyarmandwithaspikytail. 2 Worse, Trent Dillard was in my class again. Last year, I had to sit in front of him because Amy Carlson comes before Trent Dillard in alphabetical order. He knows I’m afraid of spiders, and all year he pretended to put them in my hair. If he found out lizards were on my list, I’d be finished. 3 On the first day of school, I tried not to look at the terrarium1 in the corner, but Mrs. Reno pulled out the lizard and set him against her shoulder like a baby. “This is Ripley,” she said. 4 Trent whispered, “Bet you’re scared of him.” 5 “I am not!” I said. 6 Mrs. Reno looked toward Trent and me. “What’s wrong?” she asked. 7 “Amy’s scared of Ripley,” Trent announced. , 8 “No, I’m not.” My chest tightened. “I love lizards. They’re my favorite animals.” 9 Mrs.

  • Norman Bridwell
    NORMAN BRIDWELL Norman Bridwell was born in Kokomo, Indiana, in 1928. Growing up, Norman Bridwell was always drawing. “I was not good at sports and my high school shop teacher, after a few days of class, took my tools away, telling me ‘Here’s a pad of paper instead. You seem to like to draw: stick to that,’” Bridwell remembers. But not everyone believed his drawings or writing would someday delight millions of children (and parents and teachers) around the world, a point he likes to stress when he visits schools. “I always liked to draw,” Bridwell tells children, “but I was never considered very good. In school there was always someone better than me; the art teacher always liked their work better than mine. Teachers didn’t like my writing either.” After graduation from Kokomo High School in 1945, Bridwell wanted to turn his love of drawing into a career. He studied first at the John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis and then moved to New York, where he took classes at another art school, Cooper Union, for two years. He then went to work as a commercial artist. It was in 1962 while he was working as a freelance filmstrip and slide illustrator and drawing mostly cartoons that Bridwell decided to put together a portfolio of colorful drawings and make the rounds of children’s book publishers. Now married, with an infant daughter—Emily—he was hoping to supplement his income with some extra work illustrating books. Bridwell visited about fifteen publishing houses but there were no assignments to be had, and even worse, seemingly little hope for any in the future.
