My World by Roger Priddy

My World by Roger Priddy

Bestselling children's book author Roger Priddy's My World is no ordinary word book--it's a visual adventure through 350 hand-drawn illustrations!

With lots of things to find and a huge heap of humor, parents and children alike will enjoy poring over the pages. They'll discover expected and unexpected things in the city and the park, in the toy box and the fruit bowl, on the farm, in the wild, and more.

Each page is themed and there are fun questions to answer, some of which take you back into the book. The colorful illustrations are quirky and charming, and with 350 words to learn, this is a great book for building vocabulary, starting conversations, and fostering a love of books.

Roger Priddy left school at 16 with just one qualification in art. He went to Berkshire College of Art and Design and trained as an illustrator. His first job in children's books was working with the publisher Peter Usborne, at Usborne Publishing, and then he worked with Peter Kindersley at Dorling Kindersley, where he spent 16 years. Priddy became Creative Director of DK's Children's Division and was Managing Director of the children's mass market publisher Funfax when it was acquired by DK.

In 2000, he created Priddy Books with John Sargent at St Martin's Press to create innovative and imaginative titles for children, from first books for babies through early reference titles for older children. Since then, over 30 million copies of Roger's 200 plus books have sold worldwide, with five of his books My Big Animal, My Big Truck, Happy Baby Words, Happy Baby Colors and Puppy and Friends each selling over one million copies. He is also the author of Big Board First 100 Words; Big Board Books Colors, ABC, Numbers; and Bright Baby Noisy Monsters. His creativity has been recognized with numerous industry awards. Priddy lives in London with his wife Zena and their four children.
