Sull'Autore

Leonard Weisgard was born in New Haven, Connecticut on December 13, 1916. He attended Pratt Institute for two years and studied dance with Martha Graham before becoming a window dresser at Macy's. He began his career making illustrations for several magazines including Good Housekeeping, The New mostra altro Yorker, and Harper's Bazaar. He eventually focused on illustrating children's books. His first book, Suki, the Siamese Pussy, was published in 1937. He and Margaret Wise Brown first collaborated on the Noisy Books series, which urged readers to imitate sounds like dogs, trucks, and jackhammers. In 1947, he won the Caldecott Medal for The Little Island written by Brown under the pseudonym Golden MacDonald. He also wrote books he illustrated himself. In the 1950's, he designed the stage sets and costumes for several productions of the San Francisco Ballet. He died on January 14, 2000 at the age of 83. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra meno

The First Doll in the World di Leonard Weisgard

I was sick at home with a cold and couldn't go to the library that Saturday like I always did. My dad went and picked up books for me to read. This was one of them. I liked it and never forgot about it. Just took awhile for me to remember the name of the book.

Little Golden Book Collection: Animal Tales (Little… di Golden Books

Very nice collection that includes *unabridged* copies of such stories as Mister Dog (aka Crispin's Crispian) by Margaret Wise Brown and Garth Williams, The Golden Egg Book by Brown and Leonard Weisgard, and four stories illustrated by Gustaf Tenggren. ?�Unfortunately it does not have Color Kittens... I'd still like to read a complete edition of that.
