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

3.0

I have read a lot of picture books. On goodreads, I read picture books compulsively. So the idea of reading about the illustrators sounded interesting. This was a bit disappointing. But it was a book of interviews so was essentially formulaic. I think it would work as a reference book, but really it made me want a much bigger reference book of illustrators. Even those artists whose names I did not recognize were intriguing to see the path they followed. But in the end the book dragged somewhat. But not so much that I wouldn't try another book by the author who has a number that look intriguing.
