He lives in Brooklyn, NY.Steven Weinberg writes and illustrates kids books about dinosaurs, roller coasters, beards, and chainsaws. He paints landscapes and fish, too. Basically, all the fun stuff. He lives in the Catskills with his wife, Casey Scieszka, his dog, Waldo, and a bed and bar called the Spruceton Inn that they all run together in the backyard. Review "Graphs, anatomy charts, and infographics give the pictures and text a tongue-in-cheek gravitas that will have delighted readers returning for more. Weinbergs use of collage is charming. . . [I]n true Scieszka style, the majority of the book is a joyful exploration of what he does best-make the known seem absurd and the absurd seem perfectly reasonable. A funny, ridiculous journey into space infused with a thoughtful ecological message."-School Library Journal"The lovable aerospace animal assemblage returns in search of another hospitable planet for Earths inhabitants. . . . [Astronuts Mission Two] continues with all the same punchy puns and visual panache as its predecessor. Scieszka skillfully weaves in facts about climate change and environmental and social commentary into his jet-propelled zaniness, bringing a subtle undercurrent of relevance into a seemingly goofy tale. With its now-familiar collages utilizing a dazzling psychedelic array of color, the series will delight fans, although this volume is a fine jumping-in point for new readers as well. A high energy follow-up proving silly can still be smart."-Kirkus Reviews Review Quote "The lovable aerospace animal assemblage returns in search of another hospitable planet for Earths inhabitants. . . .
