Susan Meddaugh is the creator of Martha, the beloved talking dog. Martha was a real dog who lived with Susan and her family. One day, her son wondered if Martha would be able to talk if he fed her alphabet soup. A star was born! Ms. Meddaugh now lives (with dogs, of course) in Sherborn, Massachusetts. Visit her at www. marthathetalkingdog. com. Sarah WIlson has written and illustrated numerous books for children and adults. The idea for LOVE AND KISSES came, she says, when she spied a cat and dog with their noses touching.
