Look at My Book: How Kids Can Write & Illustrate Terrific Books

32 pp. | Holiday | March, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-8234-1590-2 $$16.95
(4) K-3 From "Ideas" through "Rough Draft" to "Lettering" and "Binding," Leedy certainly knows all there is that goes into a book, although her implication that the process follows a certain order ("Layout" before "Art," for example) is both specious and soul killing. Still, her writing is clear (if oversimplified), and the cartoon vignettes of a boy, a girl, and a dog following the various suggestions are fun. Reading list.
