ABOUT
Todd's seventeen books include Beep! Beep! Go to Sleep!, a 2016 ALA Notable Book, and Naughty Ninja Takes a Bath, which spent several days as the #1 children's book on Amazon. He is also the author of seven books for the Dr. Seuss franchise and is one of few people other than Dr. Seuss to write in the voices of the Cat in the Hat and the Lorax.
His books have been translated into four languages and named to "Best Books of the Year" lists by the Chicago Public Library, Huffington Post, and Bank Street College of Education. In addition to the 2016 ALA Notable Book Award, he is the recipient of Switzerland's 2017 Golden Cowbell Award and the Keystone State Literacy Association's 2021-22 Children's Choice Award.
