Michelle Robinson (Author)
Michelle grew up in Gloucestershire and loved making up stories and
being silly. She put that to good use by getting a job as a
copywriter. She wrote over 6000 radio adverts before moving on to
television and the web. She soon got bored though, which is when
she started writing funny stories for children and their parents to
enjoy reading umpteen times. Her picture book There's a Lion in My
Cornflakes won the Sainsbury's Children's Book Awards. She lives in
Frome with her husband, son and daughter.

Praise for The Forgetful Knight "Clever and catchy . . . Kids will
love this quirky quest and its uproariously unreliable narrator."
--Kirkus Reviews "Lots of humorous action and details for kids to
pore over. . . Should produce plenty of giggles both in storytime
or when shared one-on-one."--School Library Journal
"It never hurts when a picture book rhymes AND is funny." --Betsy
Bird for A Fuse #8 Production, SLJ.com "Told in rhyme with a jaunty
rhythm, loads of punch lines and questions that prompt kids to put
their two cents into the story, The Forgetful Knight is a
wonderfully executed tale of imagination and big, big fun. . . .
Don't zip through the book; take time for kids to peruse the
hilarious, detailed illustrations."--Books to Borrow, Books to Buy
"This is a fantastic little book period, end of story . . . The
Forgetful Knight teaches children about manners, friendship,
negotiation, compromise, and compassion without being so obvious as
to make one want to vomit profusely of preachiness. Also, butts get
set on fire and butts are always funny-don't pretend they're not. .
. . I can pretty much guarantee every kid in your life will enjoy
it and it is definitely going into my gift-giving arsenal for the
future." --GeekMom.com
