"Storybook Art" is one of those keepers that can be used over and over again. And not necessarily for the art projects!As a retired English teacher and current children's librarian, I have held thousands and thousands of books in my hands. This book ranks up there in the very top echelon of most organized books. In fact, the lay-out of illustrators and organization of information is just incredible.But first, what this book is all about is the creation of art that goes beyond the book itself (on which the art is based) to show children (adults?) just how the illustrator/writer created the artwork so integral to the story. In other words this book contains "over 100 companion art activities matched to children's favorite picture books" (6).Some examples:Scratch board art based on Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are," a must-read classic.Illustrated music--Nancy Winslow Parker's art in "Oh, a Hunting We Will Go"Tankas to go with Faith Ringgold's "Tar Beach"Friendship Stick (a likely to-be-treasured keeper) based on the classic "May I Bring a Friend" by Beatrice Schenk De RegniersColor Outline--Molly Bang's "When Sophie Gets Angry--Really, Really Angry"The variety of art projects is almost mind-bogling, just as the illustrations on which they are based.Now the amazing organization. The art is group into four broad categories for projects: paint, draw, cut/collage, and craft/construction with artists in each presented alphabetically. The Chart of Contents in the front of the book provides this information. Also included is the birth dates of each illustrator.
