David Aiello is a new author. He grew up heavily influenced by the Beginner Books series by Dr. Seuss. To this day, he can still recite from memory all of Fox in Socks - much to the chagrin of his friends! In the Radisaurs(tm) series of books, David captures the joy he experienced from his early readers. In amusing, rhyming verse, young readers will be challenged while being exposed to incredible new characters! The Radisaurs, half dinosaur and half animal, will appeal to the imagination and spirit of adventure of everyone young at heart. David splits his time between homes in Portland, Oregon and Phoenix, Arizona. He is an avid hiker and photographer. His photos provide the basis for many of the illustrations for the Radisaurs.
