(1963- ) US illustrator and author, almost invariably in both cases for younger children. A series like Cynthia Rylants' Poppleton, for which his illustrations have been admired, is a case in point: written for young readers, it follows the adventures of the eponymous pig after he moves to the big city [the sequence is not listed below]. Of sf interest is an Young Adult tale, The Doom Machine (2009), written and illustrated by Teague, whose protagonist's life is changed when a flying saucer lands in his town, bringing Aliens in its wake; a Time Machine also appears.
