This review is from: Noble Boy (Board book)

The students of the late Warner Brothers Cartoon Studio art director Maurice Noble (who art directed WHAT'S OPERA, DOC? and all the ROADRUNNER cartoons, among other classics) were called "Noble Boys" and "Noble Girls". Here is one Noble Boy who wrote a book about his mentor.
Although it appears to be a children's book, it's actually aimed at animators who knew Mr. Noble or worked with him. There are references to his favorite restaurant and some biographical details, etc. written in slightly forced rhyming couplets.
The color and production values of the book are excellent. I'd give five stars if the text was written in prose. Noble had a fascinating life and certainly deserves a tribute. This is a start.
