| Introduction | Hal Pollock was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He grew up loving Dr. Seuss books, baseball, and the Beatles. He graduated Cleveland Heights High School in 1968. Thereafter, he attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree. He graduated in 1972, moving on to Chicago to attend law school. Pollock graduated from DePaul University Law School in Chicago, Illinois in 1975. In 2003, Hal Pollock applied his imagination and talent for rhyme to his first effort at writing a book for children, inspired by late-night noises in his own home that reminded him of childhood concerns about monsters lurking in the house. So Many Monsters was written in three days. Illustrated by John Beukemann, early draft copies were circulated among friends and family. The enthusiastic response prompted Pollock to write more, always relating to the age-old fear and fascination with childhood monsters. Monstermania and Monster at the Bat quickly followed. Hal Pollock lives in suburban Cleveland with his wife, a long time special education teacher. He has two children, both of whom have already become very successful. |
