Phil Pickle lived in a pickle jar and was meant to share the same fate as all the other pickles he lived with -- next to a burger and fries on a plate.

Author Kenny Herzog grew up in Demarest, New Jersey. When he isn't writing about adventurous pickles, he's directing television commercials and short films. He lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, with his wife and three children. This is Kenny's debut children's picture book. Illustrator Kelly Canby was born in London, England, but has lived in Australia since the grand old age of three, which is probably about the same age she started playing with pencils and crayons. And it was probably only a few years after that when she decided that playing with pencils and crayons was something she wanted to do for the rest of her life!
