Robert Weinstock (born April 8, 1967, in Philadelphia) is an American children's book author and illustrator. Some of his books were published under the pseudonym of Rowboat Watkins.
In 2010 he received the Sendak fellowship. His book Rude Cakes won an Ezra Jack Keats Honor in 2016. Pete With No Pants was reviewed by Kate Quealy-Gainer who writes that it is a lovely, absurd little tale with humor both "jubilant and sardonic" and "it's bound to be a familiar situation to many a carefree, nudist kid and their exasperated, clothes-demanding parent".
On October 7, 2003, Weinstock was hit by a truck resulting in serious injuries and loss of much of his ability to taste. An article in The New York Times detailed his experiences.
