Matthew Dobbins

Matthew Dobbins resides in Jacksonville, Florida where he writes the Duncan and Ridley Roo children's book series in a small coffee shop called the Cool Moose Cafe. These best-selling children's books follow Duncan as he embarks on all kinds of adventures with the help and advice of his kangaroo sidekick, Ridley Roo. Dobbins teams up with Charles Hedrick (his illustrator and brother-in-law) to bring his easy-reading rhymes to life through playful and vibrant illustrations. The Duncan and Ridley Roo series currently includes "Duncan's First Flight" and "Duncan and Ridley Roo Go to the Zoo".
