You know that PBS Kids spot where the pig runs around and eats things that begin with the letter "p"? Bob made that! He made a bunch of other animations for PBS Kids and helped them develop a national literacy campaign.

He has met Al Roker and Fonzie.

His stories, artwork and characters have also appeared on Nick Jr. and Noggin. He was even on Noggin, reading one of his books to Ryan, his little boy.

Bob likes to speak in the third person.

Bob has written several children's books, including New Socks, Big Plans, which was illustrated by Lane Smith, Dinosaur vs. Bedtime, Race You To Bed, and Oh Daddy.

Dinosaur vs. Bedtime was one of Amazon's Top 10 Picture Books of the year, and a Horn Book Magazine best of 2008.

He lives in Connecticut with his wife Colleen and his son, Ryan. He and Colleen own Perfectly Nice, a graphic design studio.

Bob enjoys cake.

"Race you to bed," cries the fuzzy bunny staring straight at the reader. This race may seem like a simple dash up stairs, but it quickly develops into a wildly imaginative marathon. Clanging cymbals and banging pots are only the beginning. Computer-assisted illustrations fill the pages with a wealth of textures, from crisp metallic bells to effervescent bubbles and the airbrushed fuzziness of the fearless bunny. Of course, the competitor in this race is the child reading the book. Bunny's frantic antics wind down to a snack and a drink, a bath, a toothbrush, and a book--just like a real child's bedtime routine. The amusing ending will bring a smile to both the sleepy child and the read-aloud grownup.

Kids love the book. Found a Youtube video of it and the kids thought it was fun. So bought this book and Bob Shea's others. Excellent choice 2-5 years old.
