Editorial : From School Library Journal Starred Review. Grade 3 Up–Forty well-known, well-loved children's book illustrators share memories of a book (and even a comic book) seminal to their development as readers and artists, and offer accompanying pieces of art–re-imagined from those books. From its cozy cover image (created by the late Fred Marcellino) of a cat and mouse companionably enthralled by the open book on which they perch, to the satisfying thumbnail biographies appended, this is a lovingly conceived, cohesive, and distinctively designed treasure. Each spread is dedicated to one of the contributors; half of it is occupied by an art piece, and half by the illustrator's reminiscence, a sidebar featuring a cameo photo-portrait of the artist, and a vividly reproduced image of the cover of the book (or, in Peter Sis's case, of the etching) that so captured the imagination and sparked the flame of creativity. Most of the art was specially created for this volume. Leonard S. Marc
For forty years, the nonprofit literacy organization Reading Is Fundamental has been putting books into the hands of children across America. To commemorate its fortieth anniversary, it has brought together forty of the most celebrated children’s book illustrators working today and asked them each to re-imagine a classic book from their childhood. The result is a collection of beautiful and captivating images and insightful essays that remind us how a child’s early experiences with books can be powerful and lasting—and can help to create writers and artists.This gift book includes a foreword by Leonard Marcus, noted historian, author, and critic in the field of children’s literature.
Excellent book! Great read and writer.. Stromer was looking for evidence of early mammals but instead stumbled onto an unknown and important dinosaur graveyard. Alas, Eisner didn't get access to the Dynamic Duo or any of the big-name villains, and relies for their perspectives on excerpts of previously-published interviews. He's surrounded by darkness, he's ruthless, to the point, and he shows no softness. I would suggest this book of poetry to those who are interested in rap culture. Fortunately, you can find these recipes on the internet.. A good purchase!. I ordered the book as a guide for refreshing some equations and methods in the income approach that I use for reports. When he chooses to protect a witch the clan turns against him and her. He writes for a lot of the recording industry media that I read. This is a really well researched book about a small tank-infantry unit's advance with Patton's Army up Southern France.
I don't have much to add to the general praise f
