Bruce Eric Kaplan

Meaniehead Bruce Eric Kaplan

Marc Notes: Henry and Eve are going through a phase of fighting with each other all the time, and their battle quickly escalates from arguing over a toy to leaving a path of destruction across the United States and beyond.; Ages 4-8. Publisher Marketing: "New Yorker "cartoonist and bestselling author Bruce Eric Kaplan depicts the catastrophic and humorous consequences of sibling rivalry in this companion to "Monsters Eat Whiny Children." Henry and Eve are two perfectly delightful children--who fight about absolutely everything. (They're siblings, after all.) Their latest sibling spat is over an action figure. Which means it's serious. Before too long their house is destroyed. The park is leveled. The whole neighborhood...gone. Can anything repair this rift? Or will their bickering be the end of the Grand Canyon? And Texas? And the universe?

He is also a television writer and was an executive producer for the acclaimed HBO series "Six Feet Under", as well as a writer on "Seinfeld" (funnily enough, one of his most well-known episodes is one where Elaine becomes increasingly frustrated over what she takes to be an utterly nonsensical "New Yorker" cartoon). He has authored and illustrated seven adult titles for Simon & Schuster: the cult classic "The Cat That Changed My Life"; the collections "I Love You, I Hate You, I'm Hungry"; "No One You Know"; and "This Is a Bad Time"; and three titles featuring the wonderfully neurotic Brooklyn couple Edmund and Rosemary: "Every Person on the Planet", "Edmund and Rosemary Go to Hell", and "Everything Is Going to Be Okay". Bruce is also the author and illustrator of three picture books: "Monsters Eat Whiny Children", "Cousin Irv from Mars", and Meaniehead". He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two children.
