I grew up in NYC, where I lived in an apartment building nearly as weird as Tidwell Towers. I’ve written ten books, including THE HUMMING ROOM, THE KNEEBONE BOY, OLIVIA KIDNEY, and SLOB. Although I’ve never owned a farting horse, I do have a bull terrier who beeps his horn pretty regularly. I live in Maine and am still waiting to see a moose.

David drew all the pictures for this book, in addition to writing the songs for both Otis books’ soundtracks. When he’s not playing with Legos or daydreaming, he creates art for magazines, books, and Web sites all over the world, including THE NEW YORKER, THE NEW YORK TIMES, and NICKELODEON. He lives in the same city as Otis, but his neighbors aren’t nearly as crazy.
