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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book!!, January 9, 2007

New York Mom - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sharks (Priddy Books Big Ideas for Little People) (Hardcover)

My kids, ages 4 and 7 love this book. It has lots of great pictures and facts on each page. The version we have is a lot bigger than the other review for this book that says it is 5 x 8. I didn't measure ours, but it is more like 10 x 12. It has a danger rating on each page(0-5 open jaws) for each animal and my kids love that part. It also has other sea animals like rays, octopus, green moray, jellyfish and lionfish. Great book well worth the $9.95

5.0 out of 5 stars Indestructible!, January 20, 2006

This review is from: Sharks (Board book)

This compact (5x8) board book with lots of information about all kinds of sharks (and other dangers of the deep) would be a fine addition to second grade classroom. The board book format will insure its long-term survival. Great photos, and not a drop of blood to be found! Seven year olds love bats, snakes, vampires, and SHARKS! Even though it's a board book, it's not really for babies.

This is an amazing book. It is difficult to find age (and skill) appropriate books for my child that has cerebral palsy. This being a board book is wonderful because my child can flip the pages on his own and the content is perfect for him at 4!
