What's Your Favorite Animal? (2014) - Plot & Excerpts

A remarkable collection of illustrations by 14 beloved contemporary artists in children's literature. Each artist answers the question, "What's Your Favorite Animal?", with a unique double page illustrated response. I appreciated each artist's signature piece especially Nick Bruel's metafiction, Mo Willems' humor, and Peter Sis' sentiment. Royalties from this book will benefit the wonderful Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, MA. I had the opportunity recently to visit the museum and view this exhibit. Fabulous! A must see for fans of children's literature. Award-winning author/illustrator and founder of The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, Eric Carle has collaborated with a group of illustrators to great this fantastic book. Everyone has a favorite animal and each of these artists uses a two page spread to write and illustrate about their favorite. From the minimalist illustrations of Jon Klassen to the dreamy illustrations of Peter Sis and the bright colors of Lucy Cousins, a wide variety of favorites are included. The results are diverse, entertaining, and wonderful. Each page is unique. The writing style, the illustrations, and the perspective of each contributor shines through creating an amazing celebration of children's literature.
