BIBLIOGRAPHY
Marcus, Leonard S.2001. SIDE BY SIDE: FIVE FAVORITE PICTURE-BOOK TEAMS GO TO WORK.
New York: Walker and Company. ISBN 0802787797
PLOT SUMMARY
The reader is introduced to five award winning author/illustrator teams. We are taken behind the scenes to when their books were in the works. The reader learns how each set of collaborators have a unique experience and that the process of producing a book together may take several years.
CRITICAL ANALYSIS
Marcus takes us on a journey of watching five picture books take form. It is interesting to learn that many times, the author and illustrator never even meet. Watching the process of how some of our favorite books came into being and seeing the rough sketches was exciting. Hearing the collaboration team’s own words in describing their experiences made the book even more fun to read.
REVIEW EXCERPT
SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL: “even those who have not seen some of the featured books will be engaged by the creativity and cooperation exhibited here.”
