Show Me a Story!: Why Picture Books Matter: Conversations with 21 of the World's Most Celebrated Illustrators by Leonard S. Marcus

5.0

I liked that this was in interview format and covered a pretty diverse range of people. It made me go back and look at a lot of the artists' books more closely, especially Mitsumasa Anno, Chris Raschka, Sendak, and James Marshall--especially James Marshall. His interview really stood out. He is one of the most awesome writer/illustrators, with Miss Nelson is Missing having been a childhood favorite. But going back and reading the George & Martha books has been a real blast. They are truly some of the most amusing books out there. William Steig came off as cranky and smart and outspoken, just how I always picture him, he's totally the best ever.
