Aaron Reynolds loves bugs and loves books, so Tiger Moth was a perfect blend of both. Reynolds is the author of several great books for kids, including Chicks and Salsa, which Publishers Weekly called "a literary fandango." Reynolds had no idea what "fandango" meant. After looking it up in the dictionary, he learned the word means "playful and silly behavior." Reynolds hopes to write several more fandangos in the future. He lives near Chicago with his wife, two kids, and four insect-obsessed cats. Erik Lervold was born in Puerto Rico, a small island in the Caribbean, and has been a professional painter. Deciding that he wanted to be a full-time artist, he moved to Florida, New York, Chicago, Duluth, and finally Minneapolis. He attended the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, majored in Comic Art, and graduated in 2004. Erik teaches classes in libraries in the Minneapolis area, and has taught art in the Minnesota Children's Museum. He loves the color green and has a bunch of really big goggles. He also loves sandwiches. If you want him to be your friend, bring him a roast beef sandwich and he will love you forever.
Reynolds' and Lervold's series about a ninja in training and his
sidekick and their work fighting insect evil will appeal to Dragon
Puncher fans who like their super-hero stories filled with earnest
heroes, lots of action, plenty of puns and silliness, and just a
touch of gross-out humor.-- "A Parent's Guide to the Best Kids'
Comics: Choosing Titles Your Children Will Lo"
The graphics and action in this story will certainly help get some
indifferent readers excited about reading.-- "Douglas County School
District"
