Michael J. Rosen is the acclaimed author of some three dozen books
for children of all ages (and even more for grown-ups!), including
The Cuckoo's Haiku and Other Poems for Birders; Our Farm: Four
Seasons with Five Kids on One Famiy's Farm (which he both wrote and
illustrated with some 400 photographs); A Drive in the Country;
Don't Shoot!; A School for Pompey Walker; and Elijah's Angel. For
over 35 years, ever since working as a counselor, water-safety
instructor, and art teacher at local community centers, Michael has
been engaged with young children, their parents, and teachers. As a
visiting author, in-service speaker, and workshop leader, he
frequently travels to schools and conferences around the nation,
sharing his stories, poems, creativity, and humor.
As a talented editor and illustrator, Michael has enlisted hundreds
of other authors and artists to create 15 philanthropic books that
aid in the fight to end childhood hunger through Share Our
Strength's national efforts, or that offer care to less fortunate
companion animals through The Company of Animals Fund, a granting
program he began in 1990.
For the last four years, working with the Ohio Children's
Foundation, Michael created a early literacy activity book,
particularly designed for kids who are likely to start school
without knowing the alphabet: You, Me, and the ABCs: 100
Ready-for-Reading Activities for Kids and Their Favorite Grown-ups.
Julia Patton is an award-winning author and illustrator who works
from a rustic woodshed in the wilds of rural Northumberland, UK.
Her work includes The Very Very Very Long Dog and Snail Mail.
"Amusing . . . this book may work best in the hands of enthusiastic
parents, educators, or XKCD fans who wish to inculcate a love of
numbers in the next generation."--School Library Journal--

"The off-kilter scenarios proposed, which are entertainingly
captured in Patton's quirky cartoon graphics, and the off-the-cuff
tone Rosen adopts for the answers keep these unconventional story
problems from ever feeling like homework.'"--Publishers Weekly--
