Phyllis Goldman has organized and produced three publishing companies throughout the years.

​

Monkeyshines on America

Monkeyshines Began in 1987 on America and produced quarterly periodicals and resource materials for K-12 teachers throughout the United States and around the world. The Monkeyshines periodicals became favorites of teachers and students, and the periodical project took five years to complete.

In 2004, Monkeyshines on America was purchased by an international database company that translated it into a number of different languages and distributed its materials to libraries all over the world.

Allosaurus Publishers

In 2004, Goldman turned her unique vision to a new company and called it Allosaurus Publishers, which produced over 45 books on a huge range of topics, including several bilingual books in Spanish and English. Allosaurus Publishers kept its eye on the needs of K-12 teachers. From weird science facts, to joke books, to a time-traveling heroine who witnesses discoveries as they happen, Allosaurus Publishers became a unique hotspot for teachers and students alike!

During this period, “Phoebe Grant”—the publisher’s alter ego—portrayed an energetic time traveler throughout the “Phoebe Grant” series of stories, which appear as part of the Allosaurus books. Phoebe shares her enthusiasm for math, reading, and sports, and adores science!  With her unique gifts, Phoebe is able to take friends on her time-travelling voyages, often arriving on the scene just as something exciting is taking place. She witnesses huge scientific breakthroughs as they occur! Young readers, as well as adults, love these adventures.

Awesome Dragon Publisher

Awesome Dragon Publishers became Goldman’s third company in 2018.

 

Like the other companies, this one carries out themes related to topics of science, history, geography, and diverse cultures. Books appear not only in paperback, but also in audio versions. 

“Phoebe Grant” jumps over to Awesome Dragon! One book gives a synopsis of Phoebe with her friends in new adventures in which they learn about diverse cultures in Central and South America.
