About the author
David Kirk was born in Ohio in 1955. He received a B. A. in painting from the Cleveland Institute of Art. In the 1970's, he began to make toys and market them to area craft shops. Although the toys sold well, he was unable to produce them fast enough or cheaply enough to sell to children. He decided to try to mass produce them and founded a company called Hoobert Toys. His manufacturing ventures were not successful, but the illustrations he was going to use for the toy packages later became the basis of the illustrations for his first books. His first children's book, Miss Spider's Tea Party, was published in 1994. His other works include Miss Spider's Wedding; Nova's Arc; Little Bird, Biddle Bird; Little Bunny, Biddle Bunny; Little Miss Spider; and Oh So Tiny Bunny. His books have been spun off into a television special and a series for the Nickelodeon network as well as a line of designer clothing, accessories, and furniture produced and sold by Target Stores beginning in 2003.
