ALICE SCHERTLE is an award-winning poet whose much-loved
books for children include All You Need for a Beach and All You
Need for a Snowman. She lives in Plainfield, Massachusetts.
JILL MCELMURRY is the celebrated illustrator of Our Nest by
Reeve Lindbergh as well as her own Mad About Plaid and I'm NOT a
Baby! She lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
"Schertle's (All You Need for a Beach) rhyming stanzas are succinct, and she gives readers plenty of opportunities to chime in with animal and vehicle noises; colored, standout fonts highlight these sounds for extra effect. McElmurry's (Mad About Plaid) gouaches recall the heyday of Golden Books in their combination of vividness, na�vet� and sweetness, and her rich palette achieves verisimilitude that is no less satisfying for being nostalgic." --Publishers Weekly, starred review (4/28/08) --
