Author Biography

Corey Rosen Swchartz always wanted to write a classic tale with an unexpected twist, and he got the perfect inspiration from his son. When he was three years old, they asked him if he spoke Spanish. His answer was: No, but I speak a little karate. Instantly, the idea occurred to him: the three little pigs could go to ninja school! Corey doesn't have a ninja background, but he can certainly kick ass at Scrabble. She is the author of Hop! plop! and lives in Warren, New Jersey with her two children-chan and her incredibly patient husband-san. www.coreyrosenschwartz.com.
