About the Author

Her books blend science, humor, and creativity, and include the acclaimed My Life Is a Zoo middle-grade trilogy and award-winning picture books, like Shark Lady and Pink Is for Blobfish. Jess lives in Ontario, Canada, where she loves hiking, nerdy documentaries, and writing books for curious and adventurous kids. Jess can be found online at www.jesskeatingbooks.com or on Twitter at @Jess_Keating. PETE OSWALD is a fine-arts painter, an animator, an author, and an illustrator. He illustrated the New York Times bestselling books The Bad Seed, The Good Egg, and The Cool Bean by Jory John.

Pete lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife and their three sons.
Reviews
Keating's language is full of puns, but her science is spot-on... Frankly fantastic but fact-filled fun. -- Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Pink Is for Blobfish by Jess Keating:

A playful introduction to the kookier corners of the animal kingdom. -- Booklist

Keating maintains a casual tone while delivering intriguing details about each animal. -- Publishers Weekly

Praise for The Bad Seed, illustrated by Pete Oswald:

Working in digitized watercolors, Oswald makes this antihero's angst vivid and touching, and the world the seed moves in -- a metropolis populated by seeds that include peanuts, coconuts, and corn kernels -- adds a playful counterpoint of background detail and comedy. -- Publishers Weekly

Praise for The Good Egg, illustrated by Pete Oswald:

* Oswald's digitally composed, bright artwork pops with rib-tickling close-ups and character-building moments. -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review
