Stunning Book - a must for lovers of Picutre Book Illustration! January 6, 2009
This book is beautiful in every way. The selection of featured illustrators includes Mitsumisa Anno, Nancy Elkholm Burkert, Eric Carle, Tomie dePaola, Leo Lionni, Barry Moser, Jerry Pinkney, Alice Provensen, Maurice Senkak, Gennady Spirin, Chris Van Allsburg and many others. The text(written by the artists) is fascinating and easily readable for older children and adults. Foldout pages show examples of each artist's early work, their studios and materials, finished work and a self-portrait. The color quality of the reproductions is outstanding and Robert Sabuda's page features a real Pop-up! If you love book illustration I highly recommend this book. I found it to be illuminating and inspiring!

i thought this book was going to be good, but i didn't know it would be this good. each well-known childrens' book writer/illustrator writes about their lives, influences and inspirations.
included are ealry photos, first drawings and a full page self-portrait.
so thoughtfully put together. a beautiful book to browse through and inspire you and your children to pick up a tool and draw, paint and create.
Artist to Artist September 1, 2008
I think this is a wonderful book for children to understand that art is really an emotional, personal thing. I think it's a book EVERY teacher in the elementary should have.
A must for young and old August 13, 2008

I love this book. I had gotten it with my children in mind but being an artist myself, found great joy in reading it.
