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:

It's Spooky! It's Hilarious! It's my brand new picture book!

I'm excited to announce my latest picture book, The Haunted Hamburger and Other Ghostly Stories, with delightful illustrations by the talented Paul Meisel. Read all about it, check out the wonderful reviews, and download the free extension activities, so that you, too, can have a Hilarious Haunted Book Party!

And don't forget about the free teaching materials for 1 + 1 = 5 and Other Unlikely Additions, as well as Minnesota's Hidden Alphabet.
