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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lights & Sound never worked....Disappointing, December 17, 2009

This is an adorable book. My son already has 4 of the Funny Faces books, so I thought it'd be fun to get a Halloween one. Problem is, the sound and lights on the last page never worked. So I sent it back and exchanged it for another one. Same problem with the replacement book--no lights and sound. I finally gave up and got a refund instead of risking a third try and having the same problem.

This review is from: Halloween Jack: With Lights and Sound (Board book)

We bought this for our now 3-year-old when he wasn't quite 1. He has loved it ever since and now our new baby, at 10 months, is crazy about it, too. The sound effects on the last page work most of the time, still, and have outlasted other books with sound effects we've had. Even without the sound, the book would be great. It's a fun one to act out for the kids and our 3 year old is starting to sight read now and has a good time with it on that level, too.

2.0 out of 5 stars faulty sound effect, October 24, 2008

This review is from: Halloween Jack: With Lights and Sound (Board book)

I received this book, but the sound effects did not work, returned it and received another from Amazon and the sound effects are sporadic, at best. A disappointed grandchild, when it works one time in every 10 openings.
