Syd Hoff (September 4, 1912 Bronx, New York – May 12, 2004) was a Jewish-American cartoonist and children's book author. Although best known for his classic early reader Danny and the Dinosaur, his cartoons appeared in a multitude of genres, including advertising commissions for such companies as Eveready Batteries, Jell-O, S.O.S Pads, Rambler, Ralston Cereal and more.
While Hoff was still in high school, Milt Gross, a popular 1930s cartoonist, told him at an assembly that "Kid, someday you'll be a great cartoonist!" At 16, he enrolled at the National Academy of Design in New York City. At 18, he sold his first cartoon to The New Yorker, and would sell a total of 571 of them to the publication from 1931 to 1975. Hoff became known for his cartoons, in The New Yorker, depicting tenements and lower-middle class life in the city.
Hoff drew two long-running syndicated comic strips: Tuffy (1939–1949) and Laugh It Off (1958–1978). One of Hoff's recurring characters, a walrus-mustached man, eventually appeared as the father in his daily Tuffy, done for the King Features Syndicate from 1940 to 1950.
His cartoons have appeared in a variety of publications including, the New Yorker, Esquire, Look magazine. He was also the host of a television show, Tales of Hoff, in which he drew and told stories.
Hoff wrote and illustrated over 60 volumes in the HarperCollins "I Can Read" series for beginning readers, most notably Sammy the Seal and the popular Danny and the Dinosaur (1958), which sold 10 million copies and has been translated into a dozen languages.
In 1976, Hoff edited and published Editorial and Political Cartooning: From Earlier Times to the Present, which contains over 700 examples of works from the world's editorial and political cartoons.

评分这个系列的书很不错,一个爱国的猫上校,每当军号响起它就会从床上弹起来,而且它比其他任何士兵有更多的条纹。但最重要的是,这个年轻的新兵和他最好的朋友皮特知道友谊是让军队变成家庭最重要的东西。
评分儿子两岁多,比较喜欢
评分汪培珽书单推荐的图书,非常给力的价格,如果在**店上买要花更多的钱,所以只要有货就赶紧入了,绘本色彩比较漂亮,书的内容就是讲一只猫在部队里的生活,非常有趣。
评分也是看了汪培珽的推荐购买的,尝试开始给女儿读英文读物,希望能够带动她的英文能力与兴趣,就像她着迷在中文故事书中一样。
评分纸张后、图画好,宝宝喜欢
