Carol Elizabeth Fenner (1929–2002) was an American children's writer. Fenner's book ''Gorilla-Gorilla'' won a Christopher Award and ''The Skates of Uncle Richard'' won honors from the Coretta Scott King Award.〔http://www.childrensliteraturenetwork.org/birthbios/brthpage/09sep/9-30fenner.html〕 In addition, she was twice a runner-up for the Newbery Award: once each for ''Gorilla-Gorilla'' and ''Yolonda's Genius''. Just prior to her death, ''Yolonda's Genius'' was optioned by a major studio for possible production of a movie for television. ==Bibliography== *''Tigers in the Cellar'' (1963) *''Christmas Tree on the Mountain'' (1966) *''Lagalag, the Wanderer'' (1968) *''Gorilla-Gorilla'' (1973) - "Fenner has turned a reading of Schaller's Year of the Gorilla and her own zoo observations into a sound and vividly empathic account, and Shimin's soft gray drawings reiforce the mood of her prose." *''The Skates of Uncle Richard'' (1978) - "The book fairly oozes earnestness but Marsha's wobbly-ankle misery and ensuing satisfaction are not to be denied." *''A Summer Of Horses'' (1989) - "Horse fans will read almost any horse book once, but there are a few stories that equine enthusiasts will return to again and again. This thoughtful novel is just such a book..." *''Randall's Wall'' (1991) *''Yolonda's Genius'' (1995) - "Fenner's (Randall's Wall) pace is sometimes too leisurely, but her heartwarming story merits acclaim for its fresh premise and forceful characterizations." *''King of Dragons'' (1998) *''Snowed-in With Grandmother Silk'' (2004, posthumously) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carol Fenner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
