Meet the Author: Andy Griffiths is one of the world's funniest and best-loved children's authors. He is famous for writing the incredibly popular Treehouse series (you might have read the 13-Storey Treehouse!), which he writes with his friend Terry Denton. Andy lives in Australia, and he loves writing silly, surreal stories that mix reality with pure imagination—just like the ones you'll find in You And Me And The Peanut Butter Beast! If a book makes you laugh so hard milk comes out your nose, chances are, Andy wrote it!
Meet the illustrator: When Bill Hope, who lives just outside of Sydney in the Blue Mountains, isn't busy illustrating for clients, he dives into his own deep well of creativity, resulting in nine published illustrated books! While his commercial work is incredibly versatile, his personal practice shines brightest with his award-winning graphic novel, An Interior Life. This powerful book showcases his unique ability to tell complex, visual stories—so unique, in fact, that it took home the prestigious Golden Ledger award for Australian Comics!
