3．Joanna Cole is the author of a wealth of children's books on various subjects．Cole's fertile imagination has provided beginning readers with jokes and puzzles，humorous tales of the Clown-Around family，and books about science．The winner of countless awards，Cole follows her own widespread interests to write．She is credited with introducing the interesting world of science to young readers through her book series such as the hugely popular"Magic School Bus"books，which inspired its own television program．A careful researcher，Cole is praised for her scientific accuracy，but her books gain most of their effectiveness from her humor and easily understood explanations of difficult technical subjects．
Cole first discovered the pleasure of writing when she was in grade school．"I discovered in the fifth grade what I liked to do：write reports and stories，make them interesting and draw pictures to go along with the words．Science was my favorite．Our teacher，Miss Bair，would ask us to read a science book every week．And each week，she would choose one student to do an experiment and report on it to the class．I would have done an experiment every week if she had let me．Grade school was much more influential than my later education．Maybe that's why as an adult I ended up writing books for children．"
After graduating from the City College of New York，Cole pursued （追求） her interest in books．After some graduate education courses，she spent a year as a librarian in a Brooklyn elementary school．Cole then became an editor at Scholastic．It was during her first job at the elementary school that she was inspired by an article about cockroaches （蟑螂） in The Wall Street Journal．Realizing that this was a subject she had never read about in school，Cole decided to write about it herself．The first publisher rejected the idea，but Cole had more luck when she sent her book to the publishing house of William Morrow，where Editor Connie C．Epstein helped her improve her skills in science writing．Beginning with that book，Cole has continued to pen both nonfiction and fiction for younger readers．In 1980，after ten years'editing children's books，she became a full-time writer．
