Children can enjoy their favorite storybook illustrators in a new way by imitating their art with the 100 engaging and simple art projects included in this celebration of children's book illustrators.

Featured are famous and award-winning storybook illustrators from the 1930s to present: Good Night Moon's Clement Hurd, Corduroy's Don Freeman, Olivia's Ian Falconer, and more, along with biographical information, open-ended art projects, and portraits created by grade school children. Illustration techniques covered include painting, drawing, cutting and collage, and construction and crafts.
