關於作者:
Born in Elmira, New York, Tedd grew up in a family of six with
three brothers. His family lived on a farm in Pennsylvania for
several years then returned to Elmira until Tedd was ten years old.
His father''s work then required that they move to Gainesville,
Florida. There, Tedd''s first art lessons in an abandoned dentist''s
office over the Happy Hour pool hall eventually led to a fine arts
degree from the University of Florida. He and his wife, Carol,
started their family in Tallahassee where Tedd worked as a
commercial illustrator. Carol, a Kindergarten teacher, drew Tedd''s
attention to children''s books. Their first son, Walter, inspired
his breakthrough picture book, No Jumping on the Bed!. His second
son, William, now stars in No More Water in the Tub!, a sequel to
his first book. He has now published more than 30 books as author
and illustrator. When not working on his books, Tedd''s interests
include tennis, sketching, reading, coin collecting, and the
computer.
