  I wrote and illustrated Ten Little Christmas Presents  because I wanted to write and paint the pictures for a simple counting  book that features a bear and other woodland animals.  I had a lot of  fun working on it.  I love to paint!  I painted the pictures with  watercolor paints on nice thick watercolor paper.  I used the Photoshop  program on my computer to put the various animals, presents, and scenes  together.  I enjoyed thinking of presents for the animals.  Another  counting book I wrote and illustrated is called Ten Little Eggs. That's for springtime and Easter.
 “This nicely designed picture book offers playful opportunities for counting gifts and matching pictures.” BOOKLIST
