David Richardson is the author of Doug & Stan, a fictitious series of funny, short stories for children told through rhyme. The Grizzly Hotel - Open House 1 is his debut book. David was born and raised in a mining town in Nottinghamshire, England but now lives with his wife and three daughters in Adelaide, Australia. Significantly outnumbered by the female species, David climbs out of bed at 5am every morning to get stuff done before the daily chaos begins. His other career highlights include working as a Supermarket Trolley Collector (which is incredibly hard to do in the snow), Gardener (also incredibly hard to do in the snow), Police Officer (many people still don't believe he's tall enough to be a cop) and Toilet Buyer (don't ask)!
