Looking for a good book?

If your library is closed, consider downloading one of my e-books from the internet to read on your computer or other device.
Many of my CURRENT BOOKS are available as e-books from Amazon and other e-book platforms. Dozens of my OUT-OF-PRINT books are getting a new life as e-books. The books have been redesigned with a contemporary look for today's readers. They are available on Amazon as Kindle books and in some cases for Nooks and I-Readers. For a complete list of all my e-books, go to the E-Books page at my website.

170 BOOKS

I have been writing for children since 1980 and am the author of more than 170 books, both fiction and nonfiction. I am also an illustrator. My newest titles include Butterflies in Room 6, Hatching Chicks in Room 6, Living Fossils, Clues to the Past and four books in the Caroline Arnold's Habitats series: A Day and Night in the Rain Forest, Desert, Prairie, and Forest. Other recent titles include Too Hot? Too Cold? Keeping Body Temperature Just Right and A Warmer World: From Polar Bears to Butterflies, How Climate Change Affects Wildlife, A Polar Bear’s World, illustrated with my own cut paper art, now republished as a board book, Wiggle and Waggle, five stories about two hardworking worms, and The Terrible Hodag and the Animal Catchers, a tall tale which won the Parents’ Choice Gold Award. In 2008 I received the California Readers Leo Politi Award for my body of work. For more about my books, go to www.carolinearnold.com. I received a B.A. from Grinnell College in Iowa, and an M.A. in Art from the University of Iowa. I live in Los Angeles and Oakland, CA. I love to visit schools and libraries to talk about my books and the writing and illustrating process. Click here to learn more about my school visit programs.

About Me

five nests: I like to think of myself as a Lonely Planet traveler without the backpack. (Translation: I like vacation spots that are off the beaten track but I’m willing to get there in a rented car and stay in a comfortable hotel.) I like trips to remote or unusual places especially if they feature wildlife, ancient history, cultural events, opportunities for hiking or other outdoor activities. Sometimes I am an accidental tourist, a result of my own or my husband’s business travel. I am a children’s book author and travel for research and to speak at schools and conferences. (Go to www.carolinearnold.com or www.carolinearnoldart.blogspot.com for more about my books and art.) My husband is a scientist and international meetings have provided the starting point for trips. Sometimes my destination is chosen because of family connections. And sometimes I simply choose a place because I have never been there before. I have always kept a diary when I travel (long before blogs were invented) and written the occasional article about my trips. Some of those articles and diary entries (heretofore unpublished) will be posted here. I will also post comments on my current and recent travel.
