Description

Class Experience

I am the co-author, along with my veterinarian husband, Dr. Ed Blesy, of the popular BE THE VET book series which has sold 1000s of books over the past several years. Using this first person point of view, the  books make the child feel as if he or she is part of the story. We will study fictional dog and cat emergency or illness cases to learn about the veterinary profession and veterinary care.

I will read a different story each day from the Be the Vet books. Students will circle...

Students will learn about one specific veterinary case per day but will gain understanding of how a veterinarian decides to best help a sick or injured animal.

I am the co-author of the popular book, BE THE VET. The other co-author is my husband, veterinarian Dr. Ed Blesy.  Dr. Ed wrote the veterinary information based upon his twenty + years of veterinary experience while explaining veterinary terminology for student understanding. These cases and treatment are fictionalized based upon one doctor’s experience. It was important for us to write a book where the readers get to feel as if they are part of the experience using the context clues from my stories.

I am also a former certified elementary school teacher and the author of over 25 books for children.
