5 out of 5 stars Creating Children's Books 101.......2007-05-17

Uri Shulevitz's book Writing With Pictures is a treasure trove of valuable information concerning writing/illustrating children's books. For those with no interest whatsoever in illustration, the book explains how illustrations enhance and fulfill the promise of the text. For those only interested in illustration, the book describes how to correctly construct illustrations so that they illuminate, rather than repeat, the prose.

The book is divided in four parts. Part one defines/contrasts picture books and story books; two, describes how to plan the book; three, explains the construction and purpose of illustrations; and four, provides instruction on how to prepare illustrations for reproduction for publishing.

Although the book could be used for college courses in both art and literature, it is easily readable, enjoyable and informative. For individuals serious about writing and/or illustrating books for children, this book is a must-have resource. It's a keeper!

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Instructive.......2007-02-07

This book is a pleasure to read, and very inspiring to get drawing! His detailed instructions are as helpful as sitting in a drawing class.

5 out of 5 stars Invaluable resource for children's fiction writers.......2006-09-06

I have read quite a few books on writing and illustrating for children, and in my opinion, this one is far and away the best. Uri Schulevitz communicates the essential elements of outstanding writing and illustration for children so clearly that I had one of those "light bulb" moments. He uses an abundance of examples (his own work and others) to explain what he means. Off and on for years, I have been working on several books for children, but certain aspects didn't seem to work. I knew my work needed refining, but I was unable to define specific solutions. Schulevitz has broken down the process so well that I have finally been able to clarify my story lines and flow. Although printing processes have changed immensely since this book was published (especially in pre-production such as scanning artwork), making that portion out-of-date, the other information is timeless. This is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in writing for children.

4 out of 5 stars Make every picture tell a story.......2006-02-20

Shulevitz presents a clear, complete guide to the basics of creating a book for children. It starts with a brief discussion of plot, development, and resolution - maybe not what you remember about an illustrated children's book, but you know it when they're not well worked out. Given a story, the next step is in creating its pictures. Narrative illustration, the kind that contains a story and moves the reader through it, is a lot more than just the individual panels that make it up. Pictures may spotlight a few key events in the text, or they may take on the real load of the story-teller's task. It depends not only on the artistic decisions of the illustrator and writer (often different people), but also on the age range of the intended audience.

Next, the author starts getting into some of the mechanics of contemporary book construction. That includes the size and shape of the book, but also the number of pages (usually 32 or 48), including front matter. With that, Shulevitz discusses storyboards and dummies, where the art and story start to come to life. The book's longest section covers the artwork itself: media, composition, style, and all the mechanics of creating the images. Although worthwhile, this material may be more basic than the aspiring children's illustrator needs. This book gets back on track in the last section, on how printing is done and what that means to the book's creator.

Remember Dr. Seuss's flat expanses of one or two solid colors? They were required by the affordable printing processes of his time, up to about twenty years before this book was written (1985). Printing processes advanced in the twenty years since then, too, so some of the technical advice may be out of date for today's readers. Also, this book predates home computers capable of handling serious artwork - its computer-free tone may look quaint to today's readers. My real problem with this book, though, is that it assumes all children's books are fiction. Children's nonfiction, including histories, how-to books, and a lot more, simply are not addressed. Whatever else early readers might be, they are curious, intelligent people with many interests. Shulevitz's omission of what's real in favor of what isn't fails to serve the whole of the young and growing mind.

Still, it's a worthwhile reference. It lays out the basics, and encourages the reader to try an illustrated book of their own. For anyone with a color printer at home, it could be a thought to pursue.

5 out of 5 stars A book every children's book illustrator should have--and useful for writers and others too.......2005-11-23

This review is condensed from a longer review on my web site, The Purple Crayon.

The author of Writing with Pictures is a Caldecott medalist, and he gives the reader a master's class in the theory and the practicalities of picture book illustration in particular and of illustration more generally.

CONTENTS: This is a substantial book, large format, 272 pages, with over 600 illustrations (mostly black and white, many of them small). Shulevitz breaks it down into four sections: Telling the Story, Planning the Book, Creating the Pictures, and Preparing for Reproduction. There is also an appendix with advice on finding a publisher, a short bibliography, and a useful index.

Telling the Story: In this section, Shulevitz opens with the difference between a picture book and a story book. He then goes on to explain his theory of "visual storytelling," using many visual examples. He also demonstrates how text and illustration work together in a picture book, and closes with a discussion of the characteristics of a picture book, such as "linear continuity" and rhythm and repetition.

Planning the Book: In this section, Shulevitz shows the steps an illustrator goes through to create a book: starting with a story board; moving on to a dummy; working with text in a layout; playing with many possibilities of size, scale, shape; and dealing with the structure of a printed book. Step-by-step visual illustrations make this easy to follow.

Creating the Pictures: This section starts with theory: the purpose of illustration is to clarify or even illuminate the text, and thus the illustrator must at least make the pictures "readable." He then focuses on creating illustrations themselves. It covers such topics as drawing figures and objects, using visual references, composition, technique, and style, with copious examples.

Preparing for Reproduction: The book was originally published in 1985, and this is the only section that has become badly dated, as it focuses on the way to create pre-separated art, which used to be the predominant method used in children's books. Today, of course, almost all picture books are made by scanning original full-color art.

COMMENTS: It's not over-praising this book to say that there's no other book like it, and that it's an unmatched resource for anyone involved with children's book illustration. I've had a copy for several years, and I learn something every time I open it. Of course, I'm an editor, but the illustrators I know tell me the same.

If you want to understand the nitty-gritty of creating a picture book, from text to final illustrations and layout, there is no other book out there.

                      5 out of 5 stars A great little Peanuts book.......2004-02-23

                      You Can't Win Them All, Charlie Brown, originally published in 1971, consists of the second half of the book Ha Ha, Herman. The pages aren't numbered, but I would guess there are somewhere around one hundred pages of cartoons here. I picked this book up when I was just a wee little darkgenius starting out in the world. Not only is this collection of Peanuts cartoons funny (but that goes without saying) but it features some pretty historically significant material. For example, here you get to relive Snoopy's first fight with the cat next door. Snoopy and Woodstock have a big fight over Snoopy reading War and Peace just one word at a time, but when Linus comes up screaming that the cat next door has Woodstock, Snoopy leaps into action. Eventually reunited (and, in Snoopy's case, recovered), Snoopy and Woodstock engage in an interesting game of football. Later on, Snoopy joins forces with Lucy in preparation for the big Christmas ice skating show only to get a bad case of stage fright at the last minute. He's much more comfortable hanging around "campus" as Joe Cool, cruising for "chicks" in his turtleneck.

                      There are two significant storylines about Peppermint Patty (whose real name can actually be found in these pages, and that's a bit of trivia I never knew before picking up and rereading this old paperback recently). The weird kid from camp, better known as Marcie, enter Patty's everyday life, thereby introducing the whole "sir" thing to the Peanuts tradition; when the girls invite "Chuck" over for a rousing game of Ha Ha, Herman (which is basically hide and go seek), Patty accidentally hurts a still-hidden Chuck's feelings after Marcie asks if she is in love with him. Peppermint Patty also faces the horrible ordeal of having to wear a dress to school, thanks to a new dress code. When she decides to defy the code, she hires Snoopy as her lawyer.

                      Any Peanuts book is a guaranteed winner, but You Can't Win Them All, Charlie Brown is particularly appealing given its insight into some of the earlier years of Charlie Brown and friends. Just remember that this little book is really just the second half of the larger volume Ha Ha, Herman.

                              Book Description

                              In this ground-breaking, two-volume study of the adjustment of advanced welfare states to international economic pressures, leading scholars detail the wide variety of responses in twelve countries. Rejecting any notion of convergence to some kind of neo-liberal orthodoxy, they find that most countries have remained true to the basic features of their postwar model as they have liberalized. Moreover, within different welfare-state constellations, while some countries are still struggling to adjust, others have reached a new sustainable equilibrium. Volume I presents comparative analyses of differences in countries' vulnerabilities and capabilities, the effectiveness of their policy responses, and the role of values and discourse in the politics of adjustment. Volume II presents in-depth analyses of the experiences of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom as well as special studies in the participation of women in the labour market, early retirement, the liberalization of public services, and international tax competition.

                                    This book explores the challenges and the opportunities created by the rapid growth of "telematics" as European firms benefit from lower labor costs and access to big new markets in the fields of education and training. It considers job prospects and security for the developing world, and the potential a brain drain.

                                        Book Description

                                        Mario Baldassarri and Francesco Busato evaluate the impact produced by a new cycle of structural reforms over European Union economies. The structural reforms concern the size and the composition of government expenditure, the good and services markets, and the labour market. The book illustrates how the key challenge for European countries is not to discuss how policies could be implemented (e.g. fiscal policy competition vs fiscal policy coordination), but to implement them.

                                              Book Description

                                              The problem of mass unemployment in western Europe has persisted since the early 1980s. The New Politics of Unemployment provides a thorough comparative analysis of the present situation. A number of radical unemployment policies, from Germany, France, Italy, Britain, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland and the EU, are outlined. These are investigated with a view to identifying the conditions under which they might become standard components of national and EU strategies to bring down unemployment. This book is the first comparative study of the politics of policy innovation in the area of unemployment. It will be an important addition to the literature of European public policy.
