Anne Iodice worked for the New York City Department of Education for the past twenty years-the majority of which was in a Kindergarten setting, one that could be very challenging and very rewarding. Knowing that she would be introducing fiction to her class, and not a pet owner herself, she asked her good friend Fallon, and along with her pet Capone, they wrote a book that sure enough had a great impact on her class. It was a project that was enjoyed by all, and she hopes all who reads the book "Can We Talk?" will also enjoy it as much as they did.
