Description
Meet Randolph Caldecott, the artist who revolutionized picture book illustration and for whom the prestigious Caldecott medal is named!
From acclaimed picture book creators Michelle Markel and Barbara McClintock comes a lively, humorous, and energetically informative biography that celebrates the spirit of storytelling in art.
Quick! If you don't move fast, you're going to miss him - there he goes - Randolph Caldecott, future famous illustrator.
His sketchbook is full of hurly burly: wild weather, frisky animals, and people so sprightly they can barely hold onto the pages.
But in the 1850s, there are no children's books like that.
Not yet. Many books are published, but their pictures look stiff, full of pretty poses and cluttered scenery.
No one has imagined how much fun an illustrated book could be - because the future hero of children's book illustration is still just a lad.
Join Michelle Markel and Barbara McClintock for a riotous adventure through the seminal history of children's books - their art, their joy, and the man who changed them for good. [Tomfoolery noun: silliness, shenanigans, buffoonery, skylarking, or pranks]
