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 My Son LOVES It!!!!, August 7, 2006

My 16 month-old son LOVES this book! I will not hear him playing with his toys in his playroom, go peek in on him, and there he will be, sitting transfixed in front of this book, flipping through the pages and mumbling, "vroom! vroom!" to himself. If your child loves trucks or tractors, get them this book! My husband takes our son for rides on our tractor & lawnmower all the time, and this is his (my son's, not my hubby's) all-time favorite book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Even my daughter loves this book, November 30, 2005

This review is from: Trucks (Bright Baby) (Board book)

We've had this book (along with a couple other Bright Baby books "Aminals" and "First Words") for quite a few months and my 20 month daughter stills loves them all. She enjoys paging through the book to find what we've asked for. These books are a good size for small hands, making them easy to carry and turn the pages. The pictures are real, clear, and colorful on primary color backgrounds. Some of the larger vehicles take up two pages. The only other thing on the page is the name of the object (black letters in a kid-like font).

I get a kick out of asking her to find the "car transporter" or "airport fire engine". She squeals every time we're in the car when she sees an actual "car transporter".

5.0 out of 5 stars MY SON'S FAVORITE NEW BOOK, July 17, 2005

By 

Mom of 21 month old boy (Albany, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Trucks (Bright Baby) (Board book)

Great truck book! Tractors, excavators, milk truck, fire truck, ambulance, loader, big rig, bulldozer, etc. All in all about 15 different kinds of trucks. The pictures are very appealing, bright backgrounds with the real pictures of the trucks filling the entire page. No clutter in the pictures, just the truck and the background and the wording on the type of truck it is. Great for kids who love trucks. My son takes it everywhere with him. Now I'm looking to buy more books from this series because of the beautiful pictures.
