Steven is the author of the Papa Dude series. Papa Dude is a solid and warm guide-type character, kind of an authority on all things as you travel with him on adventures. He’s a likable and solid dude—a Papa Dude! His best friend, Charlie Crab, offers a playful, lighthearted touch to every page, while Papa Dude delivers factual information about all sorts of things. With Papa Dude, young readers can explore the zoo, the continental USA, dog breeds, the history of Santa Claus, outer space, and more. The whole package makes for a supremely educational yet fun series!

Papa Dude's stories are engaging and fun. We learn something new every time we read one of the books in the series of interesting topics. Finding Charlie Crab on each page and reading his comments add to the fun! A Hey Papa Dude book and plush Charlie Crab make a nice gift for young readers.
