Roger Priddy's Forest Friends is an adorable tree-shaped board book with five cute woodland animals on tabs. Inside, there's lots of lift-and-learn fun, with big gatefold flaps to open out and discover the animals that live at the top of the tree, in the leaves, and down to the branches, the trunk and the roots. Five little friends in the tallest tree. Here is Owl. Where’s her family? The attractive cover and quirky, retro-style illustrations will have real pick-up appeal for young children, and the rhyming text and cute characters make it enjoyable for parents to read out loud. Children will also learn a little about each animal, where they live, and their family group.

Roger Priddy left school at 16 with just one qualification—in art. He went to Berkshire College of Art and Design and trained as an illustrator. His first job in children’s books was working with the publisher Peter Usborne, at Usborne Publishing, and then he worked with Peter Kindersley at Dorling Kindersley, where he spent 16 years. Priddy became Creative Director of DK’s Children’s Division and was Managing Director of the children’s mass market publisher Funfax when it was acquired by DK. In 2000, he created Priddy Books with John Sargent at St Martin’s Press to create innovative and imaginative titles for children, from first books for babies through early reference titles for older children. Since then, over 30 million copies of Roger's 200 plus books have sold worldwide, with five of his books—My Big Animal, My Big Truck, Happy Baby Words, Happy Baby Colors and Puppy and Friends—each selling over one million copies. He is also the author of Big Board First 100 Words; Big Board Books Colors, ABC, Numbers, and Bright Baby Noisy Monsters. His creativity has been recognized with numerous industry awards.
