<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The kids are back in school and so begins the homework and carting of backpacks bulging with books. I seriously question that - can't imagine that there won't be back problems down the road.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Back in the old pre-computer days, this was the only way to get information. I remember being taught in school how to find information, what resources were best etc. for all those book reports and papers. How things have changed! I'm glad I learned that, but it is quite convenient to have technology at our finger tips.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Summer is waning. It won't be long and cooler Fall temperatures will be here. I'll have to put my shorts and flip flops away and start wearing socks again. While Fall is a season I do love, the question is did I make the most of this Summer, enjoying all of Summer's goodness? Well, no. In part because it was a Summer of working, working, working and me being a lazy slacker the rest of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the time. I did drink ice tea and lemonade while I lazed, which is very summerish.</span><br />

Smith was a very successful artist who worked during the Golden Age of Illustration. She studied under Howard Pyle at his Brandywine School of Illustration, illustrated more than 40 books and did hundreds of magazine illustrations. Her work is very recognizable and she is known for her beautiful illustrations that capture the essence of children.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The link above to Light and Shade has a good post on Barbara Cooney. I have to agree with Vincent Desjardins about Cooney's work in black and white. I think those illustrations and others with limited color schemes really showcase her skill as an artist.</span></div>

Galdone was a prolific illustrator who collaborated with Titus on several books. Two of their books, <b>Anatole</b> and <b>Anatole and the Cat</b> won Caldecott awards. This book has sentimental value for me as well. My son who is grown, adored the Basil books as a child, reading and re-reading them.</span><br />

It also has lovely illustrations done in different shades of blue. I've always been drawn to illustrations done in limited color schemes. When they are done well, it is a testament to the artist.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been asked to help put out some news about a very special event coming up. On September 19th and 20th, 2014, there will be a Joan Walsh Anglund Weekend in Lexington, Kentucky. Joan Walsh Anglund, her granddaughter, Emily Anglund and <a href="https://www.maryengelbreit.com/">Mary Engelbreit</a> will be present at all events! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Events for this weekend start with a opening reception on Friday. On Saturday: a morning gathering at the Lexington Downtown Public Library, a luncheon at the Greentree Tea Room, an afternoon gathering at the Lexington Downtown Public Library Theatre and a dinner at the Greentree Tea Room. JWA souvenirs will also be available.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are a fan of Joan, you are not alone. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many of us grew up reading her books or reading them to our children. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Her books have been published all over the world in many different languages. She has had many famous fans also, such as Queen Elizabeth, Jackie Onassis, Carol Burnett and the Emperor of Japan. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To get more details </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">about this weekend, search for <i>Joan Walsh Anglund</i> <i>Weekend</i> on Facebook. But don't wait, space is limited and a reservation must be put in by </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Memorial Day, May 26th.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today's vintage children's book, <i>Ferdinand</i>, is a redo from 2010. My scanner was not working properly at the time and threw a pink cast on every page. This post has all new scans and most of the illustrations from the book, plus the story itself, which is very entertaining. I kept the text in it's original format so not to lose the rhythm of the story.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Back in September 2011, I did a post on Volume 1 of the <a href="http://theartofchildrenspicturebooks.blogspot.com/2011/09/childcraft-how-and-why-library.html"><i>Childcraft How and Why Library</i></a>. In that post I showed a papercraft illustration by Russell Jackson. I've had a few inquiries since then about Jackson.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I always intended to follow up with a post on Jackson, but a total lack of information about him has made that impossible, at least for me. To </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">make things worse in my quest,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">there weren't any more color photos in Childcraft</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are several black/white photos of small chapter illustrations in Childcraft </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">that didn't reproduce well, technology being so different then, but I did select two of the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">better ones.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Battaglia worked for Disney in the late 40's, contributing to Dumbo, Fantasia and Pinocchio. After that he joined the United Projections of America, a studio staffed by well known animation artists. It was there doing animation work that Battaglia honed his style, while also helping to start a trend of mid century illustration style that was </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">looser and more abstract.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Battaglia seems to have illustrated this book in a different style than his work from the 50's. (My copy is from 1982 but it looks like this book was originally done in 1965.) Check out the samples of his work below. And his work previous to mid century was also different. Artists are always changing and evolving.</span></div>

Robinson and illustrated by Glo Coalson and is from 1975.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Glo Coalson is an artist, illustrator and a sculptor from Abilene, Texas. After graduating from college, Coalson moved to Alaska where her brother and his wife lived. Her sketches from her time there provided the inspiration and material to illustrate children's books with Eskimo characters.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today's vintage children's book, <i>Fish Head</i>, has been on my list of books to find for some time.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I do believe this is my first post on Simont, who is a very well known illustrator. After looking at his bio, I found he was the illustrator for the numerous <i>Nate</i> <i>the Great</i> books, which my son enjoyed when he was young. Besides knowing his way around a line, Marc Simont illustrated close to 100 children's books, in addition to being a cartoonist. In 1956 he won a Caldecott for <i>A Tree is Nice</i>, written by Janice May Udry. Simont was also the recipient of two Caldecott Honors for <i>The Happy Day</i> (Ruth Krauss) and <i>The Stray Dog</i> (Reiko Sassa). </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today's vintage children's book, <i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">A Child's World of Stamps</span></b></i>, is a repost from 2011. I love this book with it's fun facts and pictures of mini works of art/graphic design (stamps) from around the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">world. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The accompanying text has stories, poems and customs with interesting and fun facts. For example: <i>"In 1840 the world's first postage stamp was issued in England. It cost one penny and became known as the Penny Black." "The camel is the ship of the desert." "Kangaroos like the rain. They often leap for joy during a rainstorm." "Eskimo is the Indian word for "eater of raw meat." "Japan, which means "source of the sun," is a chain of islands in the Pacific, where cherry blossoms, ancient shrines and festival kimonos contrast with modern factories and high-speed trains."</i> I love this stuff.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today's vintage children's book, <b><i>The Nest Book</i></b>, is from 1968 and was written by Kathleen N. Daly and illustrated by Jan Pfloog. Pfloog, (who I don't have any info on at this time) had some serious illustrating skills. It's puzzling to me how information on someone who illustrated many children's books cannot be found on the internet! </span></div>

Everything is pink, glitter and bling. I understand many little girls of a certain age love the color pink and go through a princess stage. But it looks to me like a rather disproportionate number of girls toys are promoting limited ideals for girls: be a princess, rock star or a celebrity. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where is this all going? I don't know. It would take up too much time and space on this post and I'm sure you don't want to read it. But I do like books like this one illustrated by Jack Keats - <i>How</i> <i>Animals Sleep</i>. It's interesting and real life. There. Off my podium. Nuff said.</span><br />
