5/29/2023 0 Comments Cat and the hat bookThey are embellished via a few lines that convey enough: a tree, a fence, a garbage can. By interesting artistic contrast to vivid expressiveness, the backgrounds are nearly blank. Norman's thickly-lined, cartoon drawings really enhance his story. The content is silly, with worthwhile sweetness and camaraderie. Was I swept away by the baby's book because something registered about the style? I know this is mine, with a different, familiar cover because I adore animals. I loved finding this older child's book by Norman: “ The Cat And The Bird In The Hat”, 1968. I kept books, dolls, teddy bears, papers I knew of since I was at least ten. Cleaning is facilitated decades earlier, if family knows you archived belongings we could claim decades earlier! It is better than sifting history in a time limit. This spring, my Mom produced books that were tucked away. Neighbours companionably sought autographs for books they gifted. He had just died at eighty-six years-old. I loved reading about how Clifford the red dog came to be, jointly via his wife and daughter. Norman's took a fresh tack, as simple as it was, with an emotionality I savoured instantly. Board books about animal words and sounds aren't universal. How sweet to discover I encountered this loveable author when I was small! I whisked a Norman Bridwell baby's book from a store's discard stairs two years ago.

Eventually, freed of other obligations, he plunged full time into both writing and illustrating children's books. It drove him through the years of teaching, designing greeting cards and stage sets, and painting church murals until 1965, when he illustrated his first children's book, Sound, by Lisa Miller for Coward-McCann. His determination to create books for children led to a BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, and an MFA from the California College of Arts & Crafts in Oakland, California. By the time he could hold a pencil, he knew what his life's work would be. Tomie dePaola was born in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1934 to a family of Irish and Italian background.

I’m not even sure the underwhelming events unfolding before me qualify as a party in the first place. Even the blue balloons Dad blew up look pale and sad, especially the ones with Fourteen Today! scrawled on them in black marker. I don’t blame him the whole party is pretty depressing. It is so bad Phil, the family dog, has retreated to his bed. At eleven, she’s already decided family birthday parties are totally embarrassing, leaving Mum and Dad to honk out the rest of the tune, Mum’s reedy soprano clashing with Dad’s flat bass. My little sister, Livvy, is barely even singing. My party guests are singing “Happy Birthday.” It does not sound good.
