Steven Kellogg has written and/or illustrated more than 100 books over the past half century, including his well-know series about Pinkerton the Great Dane and his tall tales about classic American characters like Pecos Bill, Paul Bunyan, and Johnny Appleseed. He has always loved to draw and the way that pictures can deepen and expand the text of a story — creating what he calls a “beautiful duet.”
R.L. Stine wrote humor and joke books until an editor asked him to write a young adult horror novel. After Blind Date became an instant best seller, Stine started a young adult horror series called Fear Street. In 1992, R.L. Stine wrote his first book for Goosebumps, which would quickly become the best-selling children’s book series in history.
