作者简介

Carle is one of the most belovedillustrators of children's books. This retrospective is more thanjust an appreciation of his art, however. The book also contains aninsightful autobiography illustrated with personal photographs, ananecdotal essay by his longtime editor, a photographic essay on howCarle creates his collages, and writings by Carle and hiscolleagues. Still, it is the artwork in the oversize volume thatseizes the imagination. More than 60 of his full-color collagepictures are handsomely reproduced and serve as a statement ofCarle's impressive talent.
