About the author

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. See this thread for more information.

Peter Brown is an American writer and illustrator who is best known for children's picture books.

"Peter has always loved telling stories. Growing up in New Jersey, he told stories by drawing whimsical characters and scenes from his imagination. Then, as a teenager, he fell in love with writing, and told his tales with words. While studying illustration at Art Center College of Design, Peter’s love of both words and pictures led him to take several courses on children’s books, and before long he knew he’d found his calling.

After graduating from Art Center Peter moved to New York City to be closer to the publishing industry. He was working on animated TV shows when he signed a book deal to write and illustrate his first picture book, Flight of the Dodo. Peter quickly signed up his second and third books, and his career as an author and illustrator of children’s books was under way.

Peter’s books have earned him numerous honors, including a Caldecott Honor (2013) for Creepy Carrots!, two E.B. White Awards and an E.B. White Honor, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book award, a Children’s Choice Award for Illustrator of the Year, two Irma Black Honors, and five New York Times bestsellers.

Peter lives in Brooklyn, New York."

A real treat in both physical and audiobook format!

Beautiful. I loved this book from start to finish. It is excellently written! The story evoked so many feelings when I was reading it; it is detailed and takes its time to establish the world and characters but never feels boring or dull. I couldn’t wait to turn the page! The smaller sized chapters felt more ‘bite size’ and I really enjoyed this style. I fell in love with Roz right from the start of the story and I just think the whole book is so... clever. But in such a simple way! I really recommend this book.

I recently saw a trailer for the animated feature, The Wild Robot, and was intrigued. Sure, I'll check out the story behind it, based on a robot that's accidentally dropped on a remote island and befriends the local fauna to survive. Big mistake. The richness of this story is largely visual. And here I was, listening to the audiobook. Not a bad story. But hardly "wild" without imagery to bring it to life. Guess I'll have to wait for the DreamWorks release.

It was a really touching and very exciting children’s chapter book set. It had really artistic illustrations, really splendiferous characters, really exciting adventures, really awesome action, really tremendous drama, really wonderful humor and a really interesting storylines. In my opinion, I think it’s one of the best children’s book sets I’ve ever read in my whole life. I strongly recommend this book set to both kids and adults.

Such good books for elementary school readers. Short chapters keep you moving and a really good story. A lot of opportunities for conversation about the difference between people, animals, and machines. Great narration on the audiobooks as well.

I listened to most of this with my students and listened to the rest on my own because I wanted to know how it ended. It's a cute story and I love how every four chapters, they ended with cool music that was poignant to that section.

Excellent YA recommendation from Emerson. Roz,, the robot, is alone on a remote island without any knowledge of how she got there or why, but she must survive. Beautiful graphics. Filled with acceptance and kindness for others. Now sequels and a movie.

Book 1 was good book 2 and 3 sneak “trans” ideology. Could have been a great trilogy the stories were good and the “trans” stuff was completely unnecessary only to keep trying to groom children into their sick ideas.

Great read-aloud to mid to older elementary. Thoughtful exploration of the balance between nature and technology.

[Steph Mox · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fabulous read aloud to my almost seven year old. The audiobook version passed several hours of traffic on a road trip to Grandma's and bonded us as we wondered together about the life and feelings of a dear robot named Roz.
