Alice Schertle has a large collection of books and, she says, an even larger collection of dust bunnies. An award-winning poet, Alice has written dozens of books for children, including the 'irresistibly charming' (Booklist) The Adventures of Old Bo Bear. She lives in western Massachusetts, where she also collects abandoned birds' nests, old spoons, and Jeremy Bean stories. David Slonim claims Jeremy Bean lived next door to him all the years he was growing up. 'He was pretty cool,' says David. 'He turned into a writer.' David is the author-illustrator of He Came with the Couch, 'a rich and funny allegory ...at once irresistible and infectious.' (Time Out N.Y.) He lives in Indiana, where he always wears green on St. Patrick's Day.
