Bill Peet is amazing! I've shared many of his books with my fourth grade students. He uses such strong verbs and is a talented writer and illustrator.

This past fall I stumbled over a few of Bill Peet's books while on one of my many book hunts at the salvation army. Once I found out he adapted The Sword in the Stone (my favorite Disney movie) and did the character design I was sold.

I might have an idea for a story sparked by some sketches or have the main idea of a story just come to me and then maybe I'll work an outline out of that. But even as I am writing the manuscript, I'll start doodling a bit and that inevitably changes some aspect of the manuscript. I try not to be too married to the words or the pictures though and keep everything pliable. It's likely that even if accepted, an editor/AD will want to see revisions anyway.

At 12:20pm on February 10, 2009, Andy J Smith said…: I guess there's a PB critique group of artists and illustrators that meet in Andover the first Thursday of every month... know anything about it?
