David Jones, Author

David Jones, author of Baboon and Meltdown, has written radio plays, scripts for museum exhibits around the world, and even an interactive show at NASA’s Space Center Houston. His non-fiction books cover scientific subjects from robots to ducks. One even includes a chapter about a robotic duck.

His keen interest in animals was sparked at an early age by the many pets his family kept, as well as the Thornton W. Burgess animal books, which his first-grade teacher read aloud to the class. He was enthralled with these stories until he glimpsed one of the illustrations, and was aghast to see the animal characters wearing clothes.

He lives in Vancouver, where he is still recovering from the shock.
