These days, Jonathan creates his books from Greenville, S.C. Jonathan’s picture books include A Unicorn, A Dinosaur and A Shark Walk Into a Book (March 2023), I'm Fun, Too (the first-ever LEGO picture book), After Squidnight, and the side-splittingly smelly Something Stinks, as well as Barnacle Is Bored and its follow-up, Plankton Is Pushy. When his first daughter was born, Jonathan found out he enjoyed reading to her so much, he thought he would try writing and illustrating a children’s book.

Nine of his children’s books are Junior Library Guild Gold Standard selections. He is a two-time winner of the Geisel Honor for Nothing Fits a Dinosaur (2022) and A Pig, a Fox and a Box (2016).

Boring Barnacle wants something exciting to happen.
The tide goes out and Barnacle dries off. Jonathan Fenske was born in Florida, so he knows all about life at the beach. Barnacle is stuck on the underside of a pier, wishing he had something to do.
