More About the Author

I grew up in a small town, and then I moved to another small town, tried a few more, and finally moved to the biggest city in the smallest state.

I've been writing and drawing since dexterity set in. Spot the Frog is a chance to mix my two interests.

Disclaimer - Mark Heath is a good friend and I'm going to give this book a great review because it's great. So there.

It's Hard to Comb a Grass Toupee is my son's favorite book right now. He asks to go get it from my office every day and have it read to him over and over. When you consider the boy has memorized the complete Seuss canon, and is well into Pooh, this is no small compliment.

His favorite so far is the strip where Kiri eats the kleenex from the snow. He literally giggles himself off the couch.

OK, so a soon-to-be four-year-old loves it, but I love it too, And so does the Mrs.. In fact it's pretty much the hot book throughout the house right now. And if my one-year-old daughter could chew on it, I think she would.

Listen, Mark's latest is filled with the laugh out loud, goofy, and gently sweet cartoons that you just don't see often enough. And the art is just beautiful. Also, did I mention every cartoon is in full color?!

Go buy this right now and keep it hidden from the family until you're done with it. You'll thank me!

Having got this book for my wife's birthday (it's her favorite comic) we read it through over and over again. She loves the comic but we can't get it in our paper (and reading it online is tiresome). You can read Mark Heath every day and never get tired of it: the comic has a depth and humor that entertains and enlightens. Having it in book form (and FULL COLOR!) is a great way to spend an afternoon...no matter how old you are.
