About this item
The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it's a melting pot where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn't so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery. This Step 3 Step into Reading leveled reader is based on Disney Zootopia, in theaters on March 4, 2016.
About the Author
Creating entertaining and compelling stories for children is my life's work - and I love it! I have a long history of creating content for kids on screens, stages and on the page. A few years ago, I turned to writing children's books full-time and have written over 75 storybooks, chapter books, novelty books and apps for Disney Publishing, Studio Fun International and other publishers. In the late 1990s, also co-authored a 10-book middle-grade series called Goners, a sci-fi adventure/comedy series.
My early years were spent creating, building and touring marionette and costumed-character stage shows for the family business, Scollon Productions. From there, I moved into media production and worked at Disney Educational Productions for 20 years producing over 200 videos and DVDs, many of them national award winners.
