About the Author.
Michael Rosen is one of the best-known figures not only in the children’s book world but also the British arts scene. His first book of children’s poems was published in 1974, and he has gone on to write numerous award-winning children’s poetry books, picture books and non-fiction, such as Quick, Let’s Get Out of Here and We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. Alongside this he performs, teaches, lectures, presents Word of Mouth on Radio 4 and reviews books for the Guardian. In 2007, Michael was appointed the fifth Children’s Laureate – a role which he says will be used to be an ‘ambassador of fun’.
