  We’re self-confessed bookworms.
  Nerds if you will. And proud of it.

• 

  We believe reading’s good for the soul.
  And your vocabulary.

• 

  We want to pass on the love for reading to young, impressionable minds.

• 

  We hope to eradicate bad English though we’re still figuring out how.

• 

  We have absolute faith that even with the Kindles, Nooks and iPads, there’ll still be a place for books.

  One last thing, A is not an alphabet. Neither is O or M. Go google why.

• ELIZA TEOH

  
  Eliza is a Singapore Press Holding Scholar. She worked at The Straits Times as a journalist covering politics and foreign affairs (which really wasn't that fun). She later became an executive sub-editor at Today newspaper (which was quite fun because she got to boss some people around). She abandoned her journalism career to brave the unpredictable, but happy life as an author of children's books (which is very, very fun).
  
  The character Ellie Belly is inspired by her rambunctious and irrepressible daughter Ellie. In real life, Eliza is also mom to Gabby (who shares her clothes) and shares her home with two adopted pets (who also appear in books):Taffy, a brown rabbit who loves raisins, and Snowy, an extremely clever, but greedy white terrier.
  
  Eliza was very much like Ellie Belly growing up, only clumsier, noisier and more destructive. Thankfully, she is now less noisy and destructive - but unfortunately, still very clumsy.

• CALINE TAN

  
  Caline devoted 10 years to teaching with Singapore's Ministry of Education. She has since left to take on a full-time and impossibly busy job as a mom to her two children.
  
  She looks forward to bedtimes because she can
  a) finally get some peace and quiet and
  b) invent stories with impromptu soft toy props.
  
  Some of these story ideas eventually made their way into the Robozonic series.
  
  Caline wishes to stay connected with young children through her writing. An ardent fan of thrillers and mysteries, she hopes kids will find the same thrill in Robozonic and Mabel's adventures.
