Author Information

James Campbell decided to be a writer when he was seven. James travels around primary schools, telling stories and encouraging children to write their own stuff. He spends lots of weekends at literary festivals, or in theatres, doing his one man show (as a stand up comedian). It's for children over six and their families. He talks about funny things in a funny way that children seem to like! James's books include The Funny Life of Teachers, The Funny Life of Pets and The Funny Life of Sharks, as well as the Boy Face series. Rob Jones is an extremely funny young illustrator. In May 2015, his first book 'Bernard' won The People's Book Prize. When he's not drawing, he makes toys and puppets (mostly characters from his books). He doesn't have a pet but he could have an imaginary one.
