About Lucille Colandro

Lucille Colandro, a former high school English teacher from West Pittston, Pennsylvania, is the author of the There Was an Old Lady series. She wrote her first the Old Lady book, There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat!, when an editor asked for a Halloween book that wasn’t too scary for little kids. Since then, Lucille has gone on to write more than 15 books in this bestselling series. The rhyming text, silly stories, and hilarious illustrations have made Old Lady a kid-favorite. Lucille enjoys reading and working in New York City.

This Book Is Available from Scholastic Book Clubs

A Note from Judy

What’s the recipe for a perfect read-aloud? A pinch of perseverance and a dollop of fun! The Book of the Week is Amy Wu and the Perfect Bao written by Kat Zhang and illustrated by Charlene Chua.

Join the Book Boys as they learn how to make their own bao in an original music video; watch an exclusive interview with author Kat Zhang in Behind the Scenes; discover how one teacher uses Amy Wu and the Perfect Bao in her classroom in Book Talks; and download a free printable “My Perfect Recipe” sequencing activity in Cooked Up from a Book.
