MD Whalen was always the kid who sat in the back of the class scribbling stories and cartoons. Later he sat in front of the class scribbling stories, when he should have been teaching! Now he writes full time in the back of his house, and has published many books for children and adults under different names. He always loved coloring as a kid, so he came up with the ideas in this book, and hopes you'll have as much fun coloring it as he will. Florentino Gopez's career began at age 6, when his cousin discovered him drawing on the ground with barbecue sticks. He wisely switched to pencils and pens, and since then worked all over the world for major animation studios such as Walt Disney and Cartoon Network. He has illustrated children's books and received awards as an animator and illustrator. His guitar and ukulele playing are as funny as his drawing.
