Gr 6 Up-As is true of the other volumes in the series, this edition will be most appreciated by scholars and connoisseurs of children's literature and book illustration. Featured illustrators include Maria Kirk, Alice Carsey, Enrico Mazzanti, Attilio Mussino, Carlo Chiostri, Frederick Richarson, and Charles Folkard. A full range of artistic treatments is represented-realistic, whimsical, folk, cartoon-and techniques from black-and-white drawings to full-color paintings. This is not the version to be used when introducing children to the boy puppet. It can be used with older students to introduce the concepts of comparative art and illustration. A special volume for a special audience.-Heide Piehler, Shorewood Public Library, WI Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
