About the Author

Roger Priddy left school at 16 with just one qualification—in art. He went to Berkshire College of Art and Design and trained as an illustrator.  His first job in children’s books was working with the publisher Peter Usborne, at Usborne Publishing, and then he worked with Peter Kindersley at Dorling Kindersley, where he spent 16 years. Priddy became Creative Director of DK’s Children’s Division and was Managing Director of the children’s mass market publisher Funfax when it was acquired by DK.

 

In 2000, he created Priddy Books with John Sargent at St Martin’s Press to create innovative and imaginative titles for children, from first books for babies through early reference titles for older children. Since then, over 30 million copies of Roger's 200 plus books have sold worldwide, with five of his books—My Big Animal, My Big Truck, Happy Baby Words, Happy Baby Colors and Puppy and Friends—each selling over one million copies. He is also the author of Big Board First 100 Words; Big Board Books Colors, ABC, Numbers; and Bright Baby Noisy Monsters. His creativity has been recognized with numerous industry awards. Priddy lives in London with his wife Zena and their four children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended, October 6, 2005

This review is from: Happy Baby Animals (Board book)

Wanting to introduce my young daughter to the world of books, my wife reached for this book. Made with sturdy cardboard pages, the book is filled with lots of bright and clear pictures of animals, with simple words and concepts to move a young reader along. Now, please note that the title is actually "Happy Baby: Animals," and only some of the pictures are of baby animals.

But, we did find this to be a nice book, one that my own baby likes looking through. My wife and I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little baby book, December 2, 2003

This review is from: Baby Shaker: Animals: Happy Baby (Baby Shakers) (Board book)

My twins received this book among many other books when they were born, and this was the one they reached out for first. From early as 3 months old, I would flip through the book page by page, and show them the pictures and say the names of the animals, and they would look at the pictures and really seemed to pay attention. As they grew a little older, they would get excited when they saw certain animals, like the lion or the butterfly. I think my twins prefer books with photographs instead of drawings, and so Happy Baby Animals really captured their interest. Also, the small size of the book is suited for their little hands and they can grasp the book and turn the pages for themselves. My twins are now one year old, and though the pages have become a little battered, I am still getting mileage out of this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but a little complex for my 14-month-old, June 7, 2007

This review is from: Happy Baby Animals (Board book)

My daughter loves the Happy Baby books (her favorite is the Spanish/English Palabras/Words) and she likes this one, but I find the concepts in it to be a little complex. It has sections about animal patterns, matching animals with colors, etc. that are a little over her head. In a year or so this will probably be a good challenge for her, but right now it's a little too much. Still, a great book - she brings it to me regularly to "read" to her.
