In my recent travels for vintage children's picture books, I scored on a set of Childcraft, The How and Why Library for the mere sum of $5.00. These books are full of great illustrations by many different artists. I have quite a few scans for you from Volume 1 that I hope you will enjoy. Can I just say how much I like these books? They are fun to look at and full of ideas and inspiration. Don't forget to click on the pics for a bigger view. Artist: Charles Harper Oh Charley, how we do love thee, let us count the ways...

Artist: Vernon McKissack This name is new to me, but I feel like I've seen work by this artist before, anyone familar with McKissack? Artist: William Steig Another masterful composition!

Haley I have a couple books by the talented Gail Haley and will do a post on her in the future. Artist: Mary Miller Salem This picture takes me back to when I was a kid - nice vantage point and composition. Artist: Leonard Weisgard Another great illustration by the impeccable Leonard Weisgard, simple and striking. Artist: Mary Hauge I like the simple color scheme and tree trunk rendering in this illustration. I'm not familar with this artist, but I'd like to see more of her work.
