Introduction
  • Peg, I can tell, is a very generous person. She
  • volunteers at the Humane Society. She is also a
  • long-time volunteer for animal welfare causes.
  • On top of all that, she writes amazing books and
  • has won many awards. Keep going Peg!

Birth
  • Peg Kehret was born on November 11, 1936.
  • She was born in LaCrosse, Wisconsin.
  • Now she is 72 years old. Although she
  • retired from going from school to school
  • she still goes and does volunteering for
  • animal welfare causes.

Where Peg Lives
  • When Peg married Carl Kehret in 1955, she
  • moved to California two years later. In 1970, Peg
    and
  • Carl moved to Washington. Washington is now the
  • current place where she lives. Pegs home is a
    log house
  • on a ten acre wildlife sanctuary near Mount
    Rainier
  • National Park. For many years Carl and Peg
    traveled
  • around Washington to visit schools, libraries,
    and
  • childrens literature conferences to speak to
    children.

Pegs Pet Page
  • Peg loves pets. In fact, most of her books are
    based on her animals. She has two cats, the first
    one is named Molly and her second cat is named
    Mr. Stray. Peg also has two dogs. One of them is
    named Lucy. Lucy was mistreated. Peg got her from
    a rescue group. All of her animals are rescued
    animals!

Other Interests
  • Peg Kehret does other things than writing and
    volunteering at the Humane Society. She also
    loves to go to baseball games. Of course, she
    absolutely LOVES to read. Since she has three
    animals she always plays with them (of course
    that is the main part to having animals).

8
First Book
  • Pegs first book is called The Wedding
  • Vows. That was her first book for adults. Her
  • first book for kids is called Winning Monologs
  • for Young Actors. It was published in 1985.

9
Series
  • Peg has written many books. Many people dont
    know that most of them are considered a series.
    Here are the couple series she has written
  • Disaster series
  • Pete the Cat series
  • Disaster series are the books such as
    Earthquake Terror, Nightmare Mountain, and
    Volcano Disaster. Pete the Cat series are the
    books such as Stranger Next Door, Spy Cat, and
    Trapped. Peg has other books, but there are not
    any more series she has written that I am aware
    of.

10
Education
  • Peg did a lot to become a famous author and it
    all starts with school. One year she went to the
    University of Minnesota. She also had one year at
    a California state college. To become an author
    you have to also do LOTS of reading.

11
Favorite Book
  • Pegs Favorite book is called Small Steps. She
    likes it so much because it is her story about
    having Polio. Also, her favorite book is usually
    the most recent one she has written.

12
Obstacles
  • Peg is very famous but some sad things have
    happened in her lifetime. When she was in high
    school she was diagnosed with polio. It paralyzed
    her from the neck down and was hospitalized for
    nine months. However, she made complete recovery.
  • On April 28th, 2004, Carl, her husband, died.
    Peg and Carl were married forty-eight wonderful
    years. Pegs children were all grown and married
    when Carl died.
