David Bedford has written over 85 children's books in a best-selling career that spans 20 years. David's books are known for their warmth and humour, whether in classic bedtime tales about bears, more boisterous and brightly illustrated books about dinosaurs, or his long-standing fiction series about a football (soccer) team and their adoring fans Professor Gertie, and her greatest invention, the lovable robot Mark 1. David enjoys nothing more than visiting schools to promote reading, tell great stories, coach writing, and share what he knows about being a creative person.
