The New Yorker Book of Kids Cartoons
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Childhood is...well, it is amazing -- whether we are talking about being a child or raising a child. What better and funnier way could there be to look at the whole shebang than to have the art and wit of a pretty incredible group of former children, the cartoonists of The New Yorker? Just imagine the different perspectives on childhood from artists like Gahan Wilson, George Price, Roz Chast, Jack Ziegler, George Booth, Leo Cullum, William Hamilton, and Edward Koren.
Robert Mankoff has culled the best of the hundreds and hundreds of cartoons on kids from the 65,000+ cartoons in The New Yorker's archives. And, as always, he brings us wonderful cartoons and surprises from both famous cartoonists and relative unknowns. As a special bonus, the inimitable Roz Chast introduces this collection.
Whether the reader has children or is still a kid at heart, this is child's play!
About the Author
Robert Mankoff is the cartoon editor of The New Yorker, president of The Cartoon Bank, a wonderful cartoonist in his own right, and, oh yeah, a dad. He has published numerous collections of his own work and is the editor of a half-dozen collections of New Yorker cartoons. Roz Chast is a national treasure. She has published a number of books and illustrated the books of others. Many of us look forward eagerly to her appearances in The New Yorker. She is the mother of two children-an experience that just maybe influences her work.
