Max Greenfield is a New York–born actor who is best known for being interrupted by his two beautiful children, Lilly and Ozzie, as he writes this bio. Max tries to tell them that this is important and to please leave him alone, but neither child believes this, as they are certain that Mommy is the one with more important things to do and Daddy just acts silly on TV sometimes. He is the author of
I Don't Want to Read This Book and
This Book Is Not a Present.

New York Times bestselling illustrator who has worked on dozens of books for kids. Some of his favorites are

Praise for I Don't Want to Read This Book Aloud:"Hilarious . . . The reading aloud of this metatextual discourse contradicts the narrator’s avowed aversion to doing so and does it with panache." —
