Kenn Nesbitt is possibly the funniest and most sought-after children's poet writing today. When he is not writing, podcasting, updating his website poetry4kids.com, or visiting schools sharing his wacky brand of humor with kids across America, Kenn and his pet hippo can often be seen exploring the western plains in search of the legendary wild cannoli. Okay. So there's no such thing as a legendary wild cannoli. And Kenn Nesbitt doesn't really have a pet hippo. But he wants one. Especially one that doesn't eat too much. Maybe a pygmy hippo. They're so cute. Don't you agree? Of course you do.

Ethan Long is a children's book author and illustrator whose titles include the extremely popular Tickle the Duck! and the hilarious sequel Stop Kissing Me! He was taught how to draw by a wild boar in the deep woods of Pennsylvania. He started out learning with his feet, but eventually his hands grew in and he made the switch. Now look at him. He's a professional artist and loving life. It's a dream come true. "True" being the drawing and the deep woods of Pennsylvania part. Not the part about the wild boar and drawing with his feet. Nor the part about his hands growing in. That's kind of sick.
