Joan Heilbroner is best known for her first book, Robert the
Rose Horse, which was published in 1961. Acquired by Dr. Seuss when
he was editor of Beginner Books, it has been in print for more than
50 years. Her inspiration to write A Pet Named Sneaker came from
her grandchildren, Quentin and Katrina, and their talented pet
snake, Plato. A graduate of Columbia University, Ms. Heilbroner
worked as a school librarian until her retirement.
P. D. Eastman was an author and illustrator who created many
children’s books, including Are You My Mother?; Go, Dog. Go!; and
The Best Nest. Trained at the National Academy of Design, he
published his first Beginner Book, Sam and the Firefly, in 1958.
Since then, his books have sold more than fifty million copies, and
he has become one of the most beloved children’s book authors in
the world.
"Amusing story and the illustrations add greatly to the humor."--School Library Journal.
