About the Author
Anne Blanchard currently thinks up and oversees books on various themes, occasionally writing them herself. She was formerly a social science and children's book editor. Another of her brainstorms, The Big Book of Dummies, Rebels and Other Geniuses, has also been published by Enchanted Lion Books. Emmanuel Cerisier uses pencils and watercolors to create wonderfully precise, detailed and realistic illustrations.
