About the Author

Jerry Pallotta was a Massachusetts insurance salesman when he began looking for creative ways to teach his children their ABCs. He wondered why most of the alphabet books he was reading to them sounded so similar. "A" was always for apple, "Z" always for zebra. Because Pallotta had spent many summers in the fishing town of Scituate, Massachusetts, where lobsters, seaweed, and boats were always a part of his life, he wondered if there wasn't a way to combine his passion for the underwater world with teaching children the alphabet.

At the age of 32, that idea led to Pallotta to write The Ocean Alphabet Book. Since then, he has written more than 20 alphabet books for young children, including The Airplane Alphabet Book, The Bird Alphabet Book, The Butterfly Alphabet Book, The Flower Alphabet Book, The Furry Animal Alphabet Book, The Icky Bug Alphabet Book, and The Vegetable Alphabet Book—to name only a few! He next tried his hand at mathematics books, creating The Crayon Counting Book, The Icky Bug Counting Book, and, for those who have a sweet tooth, Hershey's Milk Chocolate Fractions Book, Hershey's Kisses Addition Book, Reese's Pieces: Counting by Fives, and Twizzlers Percentages Book.

In addition, Pallotta has written funny, informative books about all kinds of holidays, from Halloween to Groundhog Day—plus the bestselling Who Would Win? series, in which he gives the facts about a pair of awesome animals (from bugs to grizzly bears) and asks readers to decide for themselves which one has the best chance of winning in a battle between them.

What will Jerry Pallotta write next? Only one thing is certain: if there's a way to turn rote learning into colorful, inventive books that kids can't wait to read…Pallotta will be the first to write them!
