Curtis Jobling (born 14 February 1972) is a British author, born in Blackpool, England but lives in Warrington.[1][2]
Jobling was the production designer of the stop-motion episodes of the children's TV hit Bob the Builder, where he visualised all of that programme's characters, props and sets. He is also an author and illustrator of children's books, including Frankenstein's Cat, a tale about a muddled-up feline.[3] The book was adapted into an animated series, the first of which was aired on CBBC and BBC One in the UK.
Jobling's pre-school show Raa Raa the Noisy Lion, about a noisy lion cub and his friends, was produced by Chapman Entertainment and McKinnon and Saunders, and first aired on the BBC's CBeebies channel in Spring 2011. Narrated by Lorraine Kelly, the show aimed to support pre-school language development through "reading rhyming and repetition".
In 2010, Jobling signed a two-book deal with Puffin for his young adult series of fantasy horror entitled Wereworld. The first novel, Rise of The Wolf, was released in January 2011 in the UK, and short-listed for the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize 2011.[4] The US edition was released in Fall 2011. The second book, Rage of Lions was released Summer 2011, with books 3 & 4 released in 2012, and books 5 & 6 released in the summer and fall of 2013 respectively.[5]
In 2022, Netflix announced that an animated series adaptation of the Wereworld books was in development with Lime Pictures, with Jobling named as part of the production team.[6][7] Wolf King was released on 20 March 2025.
He is a fan of the rugby team Warrington Wolves (nickname Wire).[8]
