Editorial Reviews

Review

Picker McClikker is the story of a little boy with a special talent. The youngster is called "Picker", due to his extraordinary speed picking on the banjo. Picker McClikker is also the captivating story of a family struggle through poverty during Great Depression. The southern homespun charm combined with basic family values as Picker recalls a time when families routinely worked and played together makes Picker McClikker, wonderfully illustrated by the artwork of Stephen Hanson, is fun reading for young readers (ages 3 to 7) and their parents. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: Picker Mr. Clikker (Paperback)

As the illustrator of Picker McClikker, Stephen Hanson, the graphite and colored pencil style was inspired by the great Bill Peet. The fun challenge was illustrating Picker's lightning fast, tornado-like speed. Every little kid can be a Picker! Feel free to contact me through stephenhanson.com.
