About the Authors
Tim and Amelia Scott
It started in the car. Tim was driving home with Amelia — three years old and in her car seat in the back — and to pass the time he made up a story about a mean old donkey in a beat-up jalopy who cut somebody off in traffic.
The donkey, it turned out, had a lot more to say. The stories grew into an ongoing feud with a brown-haired Judge, and a long, grumbling tour through every vehicle known to mankind — trucks, boats, balloons, rockets, and a few things that haven't been invented yet.
Tim and Amelia have been writing them together ever since.
Hear when the donkey returns.
Occasional notes about new books, signings, and whatever the jalopy is doing. No spam — the donkey can't be bothered.
