When she wrote this book, home schooled ten-year-old author Tereva Rowe had the opportunity to develop her many interests which included playing the piano, riding horses, collecting insects, raising rabbits and poultry for 4-H, and playing with her Bryer horse collection. Tereva enjoyed using her active imagination for stories. Plus, she developed a new interest in art and tried new techniques with water colors while making the pictures for her book, Slow Moe Goes to the Fair.
