Mark Teague's life changed when he moved from San Diego to New York City and planted the seed for his first picture book, The Trouble with the Johnsons (1989). Since then, he has delighted young readers with more than 20 picture books, writing many of them himself, including the popular Pigsty, One Halloween Night, and Dear Mrs. LaRue. All of his books, as he explains, start as "notebooks full of sketches and scribbles, strange little drawings and phrases that suddenly come together." He is also the illustrator of the Poppleton series by Cynthia Rylant and the best-selling books in the “How Do Dinosaurs…?” series by Jane Yolen. His latest book illustrations are for Pancakes for Supper (Scholastic, 2006), written by Anne Isaacs. He lives in Coxsackie, New York.
