Astra Publishing House Comics: Easy as ABC: The Essential Guide to
Book SynopsisFilled with activities, Comics: Easy as ABC is a fun way for young readers to effortlessly and playfully start thinking like writers and artists. This simple guide is also aimed at parents, teachers, and librarians: all will enjoy learning the ABCs of this popular and rapidly growing medium.Children kindergarten-age and up are shown how to use basic shapes to make faces, eyes, noses, and design their own characters. Ivan Brunetti’s funny and incisive advice on the language of comics (panels, lettering, balloons, and so much more) naturally leads budding artists and writers into thinking about their characters, settings, and prompts. A section with essential tips on how to read comics with young children rounds out the package. Featuring advice from master cartoonists and star authors—including Geoffrey Hayes, Eleanor Davis, Art Spiegelman, and many others.Trade ReviewBoth newbies and graduates of Ed Emberley's classic manuals or, more recently, James Sturm and Co.'s Adventures in Cartooning series will find plenty of beneficial insights ("stick people aren't as easy as they look") and inspiration. First and next steps for budding graphic artists and illustrators." - Kirkus Reviews“An idiosyncratic guide to drawing comics packs a lot of information into relatively few pages … offering readers a working vocabulary about what it is, exactly, that comics do… The mix of words and images effectively moves from entry-level techniques to difficult concepts as the book progresses.” - Publishers Weekly"Toon books condenses the vast experience, talent, and child-friendly energy on display in its graphic novels into this comic-creation intensive. Comprehensive in its comics theory but pitched to its readership of young would-be cartoonists, this slim volume offers a new lesson on nearly every page. This design allows kids to follow it step-by-step and evolve their skills (with lots of practice) or to jump around to the examples that most pique their interest. … While it is conceptually ambitious, it doesn’t skimp on the details and small devices … highlighting that it’s the small things that bring individual style forward and make a comic tight and clear. ... Brunetti, with his crystalline design sense (think Chris Ware for kids) was the perfect choice to spearhead this project." - Jesse Karp, Booklist STARRED REVIEW"Comics: Easy As ABC! is a step-by-step-how-to, covering everything from basic shapes and faces to perspective and the vocabulary of comics presented in a straightforward way that is easy to follow and engaging for kids. At the same time, Françoise Mouly … and others dedicate themselves to (once again) holding up comics as a valid medium, a complex and rich medium and, basically, a medium of book that it's o.k. for kids to read . . . The message that kids love comics and kids can make comics is clear - and valid. While the pages of this book feel packed with ideas and images, the progress and layout makes perfect sense for newbies and kids who have experience with drawing and sequential storytelling. Best of all, Brunetti's illustration style makes his lessons feel extremely doable. Getting more technical, body type, body language, comics language, point of view and perspective are tackled. At every step, contributors offer words of advice, encouragement and humor. " - Books4YourKids“With instructional drawing from Master cartoonist and educator Ivan Brunetti, this book is for comics fans and budding cartoonists. Comics: Easy As ABC will encourage you to put pencil to paper, and draw, draw, draw! In addition, educators, parents, and librarians will find invaluable information and resources on comics and literacy. This book will stay in my library for a long time, for both reference and inspiration.” — Michelle Ollie, The Comics Journal“… This volume … is basically Cartooning 101 for precocious kids … And it’s an invaluable resource for kids (like mine) who are always writing, always drawing, and always trying to marry the two.” — Jamie Greene, The Roarbots"This volume distills every major lesson a young doodler, comic book reader, or graphic novel enthusiast would ever need. … Drawing guides have never been so appealing. A must." - School Library Journal STARRED REVIEW

Penguin Putnam Inc Just Being Dalí: The Story of Artist Salvador
Book SynopsisSalvador Dalí just couldn’t help being himself. When he was little, he wasn’t like the other children; he was a day dreamer who liked to play pretend. When he grew up, he became an artist, but he didn’t want to make art that looked like everyone else’s. He became the most famous painter of his time after he made a picture of melting clocks. He liked to do wild, attention-grabbing things: He drove a fancy car stuffed with 1,000 pounds of cauliflower. He gave a speech inside a deep-sea diving suit. And he took his pet ocelot Babou to lunch at snooty restaurants. He designed lollipop wrappers in exchange for free candy, a lobster phone that really worked, and a hat made out of a shoe! Here’s the true story of the one and only Salvador Dalí, an artist who never stopped being himself.Trade ReviewPraise for Just Being Dalí:"This paean to the avant-garde will resonate with those who march to their own drumbeats." —Booklist"A buoyant, kid-friendly distillation of Salvador Dalí’s life and art." —Kirkus Reviews"The irrepressible Dalí was as much a phenomenon as an artist, and this picture book biography wisely depicts him as both . . . Helquist’s familiar style of measured exuberance suits its subject well . . . An artist who focused on garnering attention and exploring absurdity has innate kid appeal." —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"[Helquist's] colorful illustrations are playful and detailed . . . Engaging and imaginative." —School Library Journal"Entertaining . . . In swirling lines and jewel-like colors, Helquist’s oil on paper illustrations realistically depict Dalí’s carnivalesque world." —Publishers Weekly"Appropriately flamboyant." —The Horn Book
