Marilyn Singer (born 3 October 1948)[1][failed verification] is an author of children's books in a wide variety of genres, including fiction and non-fiction picture books, juvenile novels and mysteries, young adult fantasies, and poetry.

Singer was born in the Bronx, New York City on October 3, 1948, and lived most of her early life in North Massapequa (Long Island), NY.

Then, one day, when she was sitting in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Singer penned a story featuring talking insect characters she'd made up when she was eight.

Encouraged by the responses she got, Singer wrote more stories and in 1976 her first book, The Dog Who Insisted He Wasn't, was published by E. P. Dutton.

Her genres are many and varied, including realistic novels, fantasies, non-fiction, fairy tales, picture books, mysteries and poetry.
