Peter Brown (1)

Peter Brown is one of our very favorite author illustrators currently working in kid lit today. We've loved him since his very first book, Flight of the Dodo, when, literally no one had heard of him except us. (No, this is not true.)

Like most good things, almost everyone knows him now, due to his amazing output over the past 10 years. We invite you to marvel at the amazing list of books below, all of which we've enjoyed quite a lot. We suspect you'll spot a favorite of your very own family on there. And, as evidenced by his multiple appearances on the New York Times bestseller lists over the years, you won't be alone in your admiration of his stories and art!

Please come meet and listen to this talented storyteller. He might even draw a teacher or a monster or a teacher that is a monster or a monster that is a teacher! It'll be so fun!
