About this author

edit data

Matt McElligott is the double-talking author of many half-baked books for children, including Even Monsters Need Haircuts, Benjamin Franklinstein Lives!, The Lion's Share, Bean Thirteen, and two Backbeard the Pirate adventures. He sleeps on half a double bed and puts half-and-half in his double espresso. He loves cake, but doesn't like to share, even with an elephant.
