The Busy, Busy World of Richard Scarry

A terrific look into the life and work of my favorite Children's book illustrator. Half of the book is an overview of his life and half is a look into his process. The most fruitful page for me was where it went over his method of coloring and the paints he used, even what colors they were.

This book didn't blow my mind as I had read a bit about Richard Scarry (all I could find, actually) online before I had read this. It's nice to have it all in one place, and from reliable sources (the two publishers he worked with all his life).
