Schweitzer Klassifikation
Laura Gehl is a former science teacher who still loves getting kids excited about science and nature . . . now through her books. Ever since reading about a poop-shooting caterpillar many years ago, she has spent time researching and writing about interesting creatures and their behaviors. Gehl is the author of more than two dozen books for young readers, including Odd Beasts, Odd Birds, Who Dug This Hole?, Happy Llamakkah, and Happy Owl-oween. Gehl lives with her husband and four kids in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Gareth Lucas is an illustrator and designer living in Essex, England, with his wife and five children. After studying at Brighton and Central Saint Martins art schools, he has worked on a variety of projects but enjoys nothing more than illustrating animals, birds, and the natural world. When he is not working, he can be heard indulging his other love-the banjo!
