Doreen Cronin and Betsey Lewin are our featured author and
illustrator for
the month of February. Doreen Cronin's books are known for their
humorous
text and include the titles, "Diary of a Worm,"
"Click Clack Moo, Cows that
Type," and "Duck for President".
Betsey Lewin has illustrated many books, but has grown more well
known in
recent years as she has illustrated a number of popular books by
author
Doreen Cronin. Her humorous watercolor illustrations work
wonderfully with
Doreen Cronin's silly and clever texts, but she has illustrated
many books by
a number of different authors.
I think you will thoroughly enjoy laughing along with these
stories and the
illustrations that make them come to life! If you'd like to
learn more about
the author and illustrator, one link can be found below.
