Carol Diggory Shields Author

Carol Diggory Shields is the author of The Bugliest Bug and Saturday Night at the Dinosaur Stomp, which she was inspired to write after "being called a Nagosaurus by my five-year-old". Currently a children's librarian, Carol has also worked with children as a recreational therapist and at one time was a designer of stuffed toys. Her years of being around children have definitely helped her get a feel for the stories that kids love, told in animated verse with an infectious beat. The author of several books for children, Carol lives in northern California. Find Carol online at www.caroldiggoryshields.net.
