I am such a lucky man! I get to make my living writing and illustrating books for young people. Welcome to my website where you can read about my books, discover what I was like as a kid, and even try your hand at some of my puzzles.

What's New with David?

Here are a few of the things I've been up to lately:

Good News!

The End has been nominated for several state picture book awards. Teachers and librarians, make sure to check out these free teaching materials.

And More Good News!

Both The Best Pet of All and Absolutely, Positively Not were released in paperback during the summer of 2009. Hooray!

Check out this fun Reader's Theatre script of The Best Pet of All available for use in the classroom.

And Even Better News!

My next picture book, 1 + 1 = 5 and Other Unlikely Additions, illustrated by Brenda Sexton, will be published by Sterling in September, 2010. Brenda's artwork looks great and I'm very excited to have a new book on the horizon!
