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.

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!

Wow, what a big hit this book was in our house. The front page crinkles softly, which piques my baby's interest, and the pages inside are floppy. Each page features a different farm animal with a different texture -- the lamb has a "wool" patch (unlike the other reviewer, we haven't found that the "wool" comes off), the goat has shiny round orange "horns", the rooster has a "comb" of stiff material, etc. My 7-month-old son is *fascinated* with this book. Many's the time we've awakened to absolute silence broken only by the sound of crinkling as my boy lies on his stomach and pages through this book, studying each page and feeling the textures with a look of intense concentration. I can't imagine a baby who wouldn't find something in this book to look at, feel, and listen to. And another plus: it's soft, so I don't worry when the boy puts it into his mouth!

I bought my son Fuzzy Bee and Friends before his birth. He loved it so much, I bought Fluffy Chick and Friends and can't wait to buy the others by Priddy Books! They're soft, make noise, and the rhymes are fun to read! I have mine memorized. :) Definitely a good buy!

My mom bought this book for my daughter when she was about a month old. And I was shocked that she (my daughter) was interested in it just a few weeks later. It's brightly colored, and soft, and a lot more user-friendly and inviting than those baby books with hard cardboard pages. And it's durable, too. My daughter is a year old, now, and this is one of her absolute favorite books. She loves to touch each picture, and it cracks her up when I ad-lib animal sounds to go with each page. The book is also a big hit with my 3-year-old niece, who loves to "read" it to her baby cousin.
