About the author
As a professional instructional designer, Lauren Lee strongly believes in education through fun. She was disappointed in how few fun yet educational and accurate books there are out there for new reptile owners. Bearded dragons make amazing pets, and through writing B Is For Beardie, Lauren wants to help new beardie owners start off successfully and ensure they have a long and happy beardie experience.
Lauren lives with her two girls in Northern Colorado.
They own several dogs and several reptiles. Their first reptile was their bearded dragon Little Man, who inspired this book.
