David Wiesner

You may not know his name, but I hope you know his books!!  Tuesday ring a bell?? I just was introduced to his newest book..and I think it is a must have for all art teachers. Art & Max is a beautifully illustrated book of lizards & art!  How could you go wrong with that?!?!?!  The website is also very cool.  There is a section that allows you to see some of his creative process in developing his books.  This is a wonderful resource if you are teaching illustration to your students!!!!

  3. I'll have to look for this book because I absolutely LOVE Tuesday and the flying frogs, but my absolute favorite of his books is titled June 29, 1999. Picture giant vegetables falling from the sky... The story is terrific.
    Thanks for the clue-in for this new title!

  4. I didn't know about the other books. This was a birthday gift given to me but I will certainly check out the others... Fan of Peter H Reynolds too? Very different style but great messages...
