Description
This is the story of when I was a boy, almost 100 years ago, when fire engines were pulled by horses, boys did not play with girls, kids went to libraries for books, there was no TV, you could see a movie for a nickel and everybody wore a hat.
When Everybody Wore a Hatwas one of celebrated author/artist William Steig’s last gifts to the world of children’s books: a portrait of the artist himself, told in Steig’s signature quirky words and illustrations. Now in paperback, this funny, poignant, and revealing picture book has all the vitality and wit of a Steig classic.
William Steig’s drawings appeared regularly inThe New Yorkersince 1930. He also wrote and illustrated books for children, most recently his memoir,When Everybody Wore a Hat. His other books includeSylvester and the Magic Pebble,winner of the Caldecott Medal;The Amazing Bone,a Caldecott Honor Book; andAbel’s IslandandDoctor De Soto,both Newbery Honor Books;Doctor De Soto Goes to Africa;Pete’s A Pizza; andZeke Pippin.
