Bill Peet: An Autobiography
The popular and prolific artist/author tells about his early life and his career as a Disney Studio employee, as well as his initial struggles to write original stories to go into the action-filled, exuberant books he later created for young children. Black-and-white line drawings fill half of every page, telling much about an artist's life in the mid-20th century and also about the development of several animated Disney films of the mid-20th centurey. ©1989 Cooperative Children's Book Center
