Strega Nona's doofy helper Big Anthony causes her magic pasta pot to flood the town with pasta, so she makes him eat it all. Poetic justice at its finest.

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: Gordon Laite Artist: Gordon Laite I like all the details in these insect illustrations. Artist: Mary Horton What a great rendering of happiness! Artist: Fred Womack Who doesn't like polka dot elephants? Artist: Mary Horton Great composition by this artist! Artist: Russell Jackson I'm really impressed by the dimensional paper art by Russell Jackson. Coming up will be a post on Jackson with more examples of his work. 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! Artist: Garth Williams Garth Williams draws a great mouse, like the hand lettering and the way the pages are laid out. Artist: Susan Perl I believe Susan Perl did a lot of work for McCall's Magazine in the 60's/70's. I'm partial to pen and ink drawings. Artist: Roger Duvoisin Isn't this a great illustration? Artists: Alice and Martin Provensen Alice and Martin Provensen were a great team and this is just one of the many reasons why their work is well regarded. Artist: Elizabeth Orton Jones I like illustrations like these where only part of it is painted and the rest is left as line work, it's very striking. Artist: Gail E. 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.

I have a small collection of children's books that relate to tea. Dotty Dolly's Tea Party is a treasure found in a local antique shop. Needless to say Dolly's tea party ended in a pile of broken dishes with the naughty black cat upsetting the table. I think the black cat had a tasty treat to lick off his paws.

Bought this at a book sale for next to nothing -isn't it gorgeous? This copy was published in 1958. I like the 'Little Girl with a Curl' poem - reminds me of my daughters. :) And the picture from 'Pease Porridge Hot' reminds me of the 2 of them playing together. The pictures by the iconic Eloise Wilkin, who illustrated 47 Golden Books and was called 'the soul of Little Golden Books'. She often used her children and grandchildren and their friends as models for her pictures. Wilkin was a devout Christian who often illustrated religious picture books or compilations of prayers.
