review 1: Eric Carle has put together a collection about favorite animals. He contributed the first, but then he has other authors (Lane Smith, Peter Sis, Rosemary Wells, Mo Willems, Nick Brunel, Lucy Cousins, Susan Jeffers, Steven Kellogg, Jon Klassen, Tom Lichtenheld, Peter McCarty, and Chris Raschka). Each author contributed a page - both the writing and the art. This is a great book for would be writers or students who want to know how to express an idea well. I remember students who, when asked what their favorite things were and why, would say "because it's good." This shows how to go beyond that. It is also an interesting book for the artists and would be illustrators. Finally, it's a fun read! Something for everyone.
review 2: Summary:Fourteen children's
... morebook artists share what their favorite animals are and why. Spearheaded by Eric Carle, proceeds of the book go to his museum of picture book art in Amherst, MA. There's also a small section in the back which includes minibiographies of the artists.Review:A beautiful collection of very esteemed and favored picture book artists!! LOVE how each artist contributes both an illustration and a bit of writing [perhaps charming anecdote, humorous poem, unique comic strip, etc.]. An excellent book for lovers of art, illustration, animals, and stories...beginning readers will dig it as well as older readers too! Highly recommended. less
