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!

3.0 out of 5 stars Very fun or very frustrating, February 8, 2005

By 

Mommydoll (Birmingham, AL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Giant Sticker Activity Book (First Learning (Paperback)) (Paperback)

This book has hundreds of brightly colored stickers: some simple shapes and letters but mostly photographs of objects, animals, trucks etc. Each sticker is supposed to go in a certain place. My daughter received this for her third birthday and loves it but finds it difficult to place all the stickers correctly. She enjoys doing the book with help from a parent. So don't get this book for a toddler unless you want to sit and do it with the child. A child a little bit older could do it independently and it would be great for long car rides etc.

This review is from: My Giant Sticker Activity Book (First Learning (Paperback)) (Paperback)

My 4 yr old is special needs and we use this book as one of our activities. The book covers counting, colors, and SO much more. Things are color coded and stickers are seperated according to the section of the book they apply to. It allows for success even in children who would have a harder time. My son even tries to match the angle of the sticker with the colored shadow he is placing it on. It allows for a lot of practice with pragmatic speech. I can ask questions very easily, and he tries to answer based on what is in front of him. He gets very excited when he has finished a whole page. He attends very well with this book. I recommend it to everyone.

Our two year old daughter loves stickers. This book was a gift for for her second birthday and has long outlasted any other sticker activities she received. My husband and I like helping her find where the stickers go, naming all the different animals etc. It really is eductional and fun.
