The whole story is about what happens when you trust only your own thoughts and instincts and aren’t interested in hearing and understanding other people’s observations and knowledge. Honestly, I think that this book has a lot to say about our current internet age and fake news. Will this book get the same level of love from us? Has it aged well in the intervening 30 years since it was first published? Intrigued, I looked at it again and realized that it shares a great number of similarities to fellow cut-paper picture book The Very Hungry Caterpillar. That got me to thinking that, crazy as it sounds, Kate and I have never done that one. And then they asked if we could do Seven Blind Mice by Ed Young. We worked in some Perez Y Martina and Stevie. So we hit the usual titles like Harold and the Purple Crayon and Millions of Cats. They were creating a movie on American picture books through the decades and, at one point, they needed some b-roll of some of the better known picture books out there. The other day a documentary film crew came to my library.
