David Mackintosh draws a lot when he’s on his own. In fact, all the pictures in this book were done that way, except once when a boll weevil walked across his desk as if it owned the place. As a student he lived in a house with the bathtub in the backyard, and on summer nights slept with the windows open, listening to mosquitos on the ceiling.

Praise for THERE’S A BUG ON MY ARM:“Similar to his previous work, this David Mackintosh book is witty and sharp with a distinctive style” BookTrust“Uniquely and wonderfully unsettled illustrations, which enhance this relatable story for kids”Praise for WHAT’S UP MUMU?:“David Mackintosh is one of my favourite author/illustrators, and he is hitting a new peak with this book. It's stunningly beautiful and simple.” – Oliver JeffersPraise for THE FRANK SHOW:“The story delivers a positive message with subversive wit and charm” – The Irish Times“Mackintosh’s anarchic illustrations are hilarious but there’s a serious point about how much the older generation has to offer children, including loads of fun.” – The HeraldPraise for MARSHALL ARMSTRONG IS NEW TO OUR SCHOOL:“Utterly unpredictable from one page to the next, this is a seriously funny book.” – The Independent on Sunday“I think this book is fantastic because I can read it myself and I love the pictures and the way it looks. The story is really, really good and fantastic because it's strange and weird.” – child’s review on the Guardian’s children’s book site.
