More About the Author

Roger Priddy is the creator of over two hundred best selling books for young children including Wipe Clean ABC, First 100 Words, and Fuzzy Bee.

When he was at school he couldn't decide between being a patisserie chef or going to art college. On the advice of his father he chose art college and trained as an illustrator before becoming a designer at Usborne Publishing.

Roger's love for children's early learning has led him to create some of the most successful children's non-fiction books, first at Dorling Kindersley (My First Word Book, Incredible Cross Sections and My First Cook Book) before he set up Priddy Books with St. Martins Press in New York where several of his books have sold over a million copies each including My Big Animal Book and Happy Baby Words.

In total he has sold over 65 million books worldwide and his books have been translated into over 30 languages.

He says "It is always rewarding to see a child enjoying and learning something from one of our books, especially the babies when you think it could be the first book they have ever seen.

I am very lucky to have a career where you get to think up fun ways to teach a kid how to write their letters and learn their first words whilst finding out about Dinosaurs at the same time!"

Roger lives with his wife Zena in London and Cork, Ireland (when it's not raining, which isn't very often!) They have four children Sam, Rose, Alannah and Gabriel (and a dog called Wallace) who have given him most of his best ideas for his books. He still loves baking bread and cakes!

This is "the" book for any toddler obsessed with fire trucks and other emergency vehicles. Thanks to this book, my kid can accurately identify any rescue vehicle from 100 yards - even the obscure ones.

The Priddy books in this series are great. This one is nice because it not only has the great, bright, big pictures but also has different rescue professionals doing things with their cool helicopters, ambulances, etc.... The "action" shots seemed to really excite my daughter and her buddies. Stury board book, large for when they want a big bold book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Pictures but not fun to read, June 1, 2010

This review is from: My Big Rescue Book (Board book)

The pictures in this book are nice and my son liked looking at it but when he wanted me to sit with him and go through the pictures, it was torture. There are just too many and it just isn't any fun to read this to a child. I always tried to discourage this one when we were selecting books. I donated it - hopefully to annoy another parent!
