About the Author

Dorenda Doyle is a retired educator of thirty years, having taught business and computers at high school and college levels, writing curriculum for two state education departments and serving in administrative roles. (M.Ed., Secondary Education; B.S., Business Management.) She was even a zoo docent (volunteer educator) for a few years at the Birmingham (Alabama) Zoo.Her first published book, How I Learned to Like My Mom, was a Best-Selling memoir in six Amazon categories in 2022.Since retirement, her zeal for education & literacy have been enhanced with a passion for grandkids (8), animals, and travel. With three rescues of her own (Shadow, Murphy, and Taco), she supports and advocates for animal rescue in her spare time. It was the influence of these passions that created THE KID & THE DOG children's book series (4 books published in 2023), which has won one Book Cover award (AllAuthors.com) and was just awarded the coveted GOLD Mom's Choice Award.In addition to writing, Dorenda speaks, reads, and presents at a variety of venues, including schools, libraries, and civic, service and community organizations.Her photography hobby almost always includes pictures of grandkids and animals, usually together. Biking and hiking take up the rest of her free time, with week-long bicycling trips being a yearly indulgence. Her bucket list includes visiting all 63 National Parks and biking a "century" (100 miles in one day; so far, 77 is her best). She and her husband, Jimmy, travel as much as possible with the entire extended family of sixteen, including her 92-year-young mom-in-law. It's these adventures on which she will base her future children's chapter book series, Adventures With Grandma.

(M.Ed., Secondary Education; B.S., Business Management). She was even a Zoo Docent (volunteer educator) for a few years at the Birmingham Zoo (Alabama).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, educational, relatable
    Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2024
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Dorenda Doyle continues her delightful exploration of idioms with "The Kid with the Bedhead.” Narrated once again by the witty family dog, the book introduces young readers to idioms in a lighthearted way, blending humor with learning.
    The rhymes are catchy and engaging, making it easy for children to follow along while learning new language concepts. The illustrations are vibrant and perfectly complement the narrative, with a special treat at the end: pages illustrated by the author’s 6-year-old granddaughter, Appleton. This addition makes the book feel even more personal.
    Dorenda even includes a helpful section at the back explaining the idioms, which adds an educational bonus to an already entertaining read.
    The Kid with the Bedhead is perfect for early readers, and its universal theme—waking up with wild hair—makes it relatable for everyone. Dorenda has crafted another charming, humorous book that children will love, and it’s highly recommended for both home and classroom settings!

    The Kid with the Bedhead continues Dorenda Doyle's series about idioms. Humorous with a light touch, this book perfectly illustrates figures of speech explained by the dog...again! The illustrations perfectly compliment each page. A bonus is seeing the original book pages illustrated by Dorenda's 6 year old granddaughter, Appleton, at the end of the story. A note encourages children to write a story with their grandparent! Additionally coloring pages are offered for free. Educators can use the book in many ways, listed at the end of the book. I highly recommend using this book to teach children about language, or just for fun, because it is a really enjoyable read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars THE KID with the BEDHEAD left me howling at THE DOG Who Explains EVERYTHING.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    After six bloodhounds, six children, six grandchildren, and five cats, I have seen almost every imaginable hair day. So by the time I reached the illustration with the dog assessing the equipment required to fix the gnarly mess on the boy's head, I could not control my laughter. Been there; seen that. But there was more to come. Not only was the illustrator for this book spot on, but an earlier artist provided some great sketches to guide her. And I learned one new literary device that needed to be more familiar.
    THE KID...has it all—a humorous story filled with various teaching tools—a great interactive read.

    I love this author. I can picture myself reading this book to my little cousin, who is about four years old. It is perfect for beginning readers, and I love the rhyme scheme. I downloaded it for my Kindle. Whenever my students finish their work, I hand them the Kindle and read to one another. Wonderful job, and I can't wait to see what's next!

    A boy wakes up with a bed head, but is it possible to have a bed head? This is a great way for kids to learn about language and using idioms, through great storytelling.
