About the Author

Bob Boyle

Howdy! My name is Bob. That's a pretty darn exciting name isn't it? I'm probably best known as the Emmy award-winning creator of Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, an animated preschool series on Nick Jr., but I also created an animated show for Disney called Yin Yang Yo and am a frequent contributor to Sesame Street. Before all that, I was a Producer on the Fairly OddParents at Nickelodeon. And before that, I was just a skinny little kid who wanted to play football for a living.In addition to animation and dreaming about being a football player, I also write and illustrate children's books. My first book, Hugo And The Really, Really, Really Long String, was published by Random House and my second book, Rosie & Rex, will be published by HarperCollins in early 2014.As much as I would have loved to be a football player, I'm very happy sitting behind a desk creating silly stories that make people smile.
