Loving this presentation and video by Steve Jenkins. He discusses how he is inspired to create a childrens book, by questions his children have asked/wondered. He goes on to make beautiful illustrations involving a sketch, cutting out pieces of fabric or textured paper to make a beautiful animal that is then scanned onto a computer.
I bought What Do You Do With a Tail Like This by Steve Jenkins for the boy I babysit for his birthday in the spring. He LOVES it and we read it most evenings I am there. He has just about memorized it. It introduces biology principles to children and how animals can use the same body part (tail, ears, mouth, etc.) to do different things. And it has beautiful illustrations :)
