Dave O'Neill

Dave O'Neill is an Illustrator and Art Director. Throughout his career, Dave has worked with several advertising and marketing agencies where he specialized in children's brands and event planning but he'd rather be drawing animals wearing hats. When he's not bringing Ed's rhymes to life, he lends his design skills to The Growing Stage—The Children's Theatre of New Jersey where he serves as President of the Board of Trustees. He is the recipient of the 2019 Award of Excellence from the New Jersey Theatre Alliance for his work there.

About the Shankman and O'Neill Library

For over 10 years, Author Ed Shankman and Illustrator Dave O'Neill have collaborated to create rhyming picture books that have found a special place in the hearts of families across the nation. Your children will lose themselves in the dazzling illustrations, the irrepressible imaginings, and the magical, mesmerizing music of words.

​You’ll love reading these books aloud as whimsical notions tumble off your tongue in sparkling rhyme.

Dave and Ed have created twelve additional books in the Shankman & O'Neill library and believe a movie studio should approach them with plans for a cinematic MOOSE-iverse.

So whether you choose the award-winning “I Met a Moose in Maine One Day”, the family favorite, “My Grandma Lives in Florida”, the heart-warming “The Sea Lion’s Friend”, the giggle-inducing “Where’s the Bathroom” or any other Shankman & O’Neill classic, you and your family will discover a blend of creativity, meaning, and pure fun that you’ll want to share again and again.
