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)! Readers can connect with David at david-richardson.com.au.

Magical clocks, wild birds and stolen treasure await in this comical rhyming, picture book!

Enter the cuckoo world of Doug and Stan, and their quick-thinking neighbour, Dotty. When Stan's old cycling helmet sparks trouble, Agent Paul brings promising news of a new buyer, but Dotty's villainous magic threatens their plans, leaving Doug and Jane to solve the crime alone.
