Roger Priddy had 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. This children's board book is for kids reading levels ages 2-6. A great first board book that offers a sturdy cover and colorful illustrations.
