How long have you been writing and how many books have you published?

I started making books with my wife, Catherine in 1984 when our children were babies. Since then we’ve made more than ninety (….books that is, not babies!) Buy SIGNED copies here.

Are your books in other languages?

I think it’s about 40 or 50 languages around the world including Icelandic, Cantonese, Hebrew and Welsh.

Can you speak all those languages?

No. But I can do lots of silly voices.

You work with your wife, Catherine. But who does the writing and who does the pictures?

This is a bit complicated. It goes like this…

I do the writing and Cathy has illustrated about half of our books.

But… I also write for other illustrators, including my good friend, the disgustingly talented, Arthur Robins Buy SIGNED copies here
