Roger Priddy is the creator of over two hundred bestselling books for young children, including Wipe Clean ABC, First 100 Words and Fuzzy Bee.

When he was at school, he couldn't decide between being a patisserie chef or going to art college. On the advice of his father, he chose art college, and trained as an illustrator before becoming a designer at Usborne Publishing.

Roger's love for children's early learning has led him to create some of the most successful children's non-fiction books, first at Dorling Kindersley (My First Word Book, Incredible Cross Sections and My First Cook Book), before he set up Priddy Books with St. Martin's Press in the US, where several of his books have sold over one million copies each, including My Big Animal Book and Happy Baby Words.

In total, he has sold over 65 million books worldwide and his books have been translated into over 45 languages.

He says:

"It is always rewarding to see a child enjoying and learning something from one of our books, especially babies, when you think it could be the first book they have ever seen.

"I am very lucky to have a career where you get to think up fun ways to teach a kid how to write their letters and learn their first words, whilst finding out about Dinosaurs at the same time!"
