AN ESSENTIAL REFERENCE!, November 25, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Children's Books and Their Creators (Hardcover)
The entries were edited by Anita Silvey, distinguished editor at the Horn Book. The amount of information in this book is remarkable. In addition to the wealth of biographical information concerning authors and artists, there are sections of color plates of illustrations from notable children's books and a comprehensive index as well as autobiographical entries by notable figures in the field (such as Beverly Cleary) and topic-related lists of recommended titles. This book will be useful for parents, teachers, librarians, and anyone interested in the art of creating books for children. Take it home, flip to random pages, and start making a list of all the great books you're going to read! From classics to pop-up books, this reference covers them all.

This review is from: Children's Books and Their Creators (Hardcover)
This book was helpful, delightful, and extremely wonderful. I found exactly what I wanted in this book except for some tiny things, which was okay because it helped me so much. I recomend it to people who want to know what's going on behind the books that bring kids joy.
