The Art of Ramona Quimby explores the evolution of an iconic character in children's lierature—and, arguably, in literature in general—and how each of the artists showcased here in this book who illustrated Ramona, has ultimately made her timeless. If you are one of the many people who grew up alongside Ramona, this richly nostalgic volume will remind you why you fell in love with Beverly Cleary's books. This book features excerpts from the beloved books, letters exchanged between Cleary and the first illustrator of her book in 1955, stories behind the illustrations, essays that illuminate the series' narrative and artistic impact, and so much more! Get ready to learn more about the adventures of this iconic heroine, brought to life by these five different artists: Louis Darling, Alan Tiegreen, Joanne Scribner, Tracy Dockray, and Jacqueline Rogers.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
