From Booklist:
Barry Gott is an illustrator whose work has appeared on greeting cards and in national magazines. He has also illustrated Be Brown, by Barbara Bottner. He lives with his wife and son in Cleveland, Ohio.
Ages 5-8. When Mr. Griswold tells his class to write a story, Jenny can't think of any thing to write about--and she'd rather draw pictures anyway. Her teacher insists, "Words first!" Arriving home, Jenny discovers that her guinea pig, Patches, is missing. She draws missing-pet posters and puts them up in the neighborhood and crayons a series of scenes depicting what might have happened to her pet. After a neighbor finds and returns Patches, Jenny's mother points out that her pictures tell a good story. Jenny adds words and successfully completes her assignment, even teaching her teacher that "pictures first, words second" can work, too. The many children who prefer drawing to writing will enjoy Jenny's classroom triumph even more than the return of her guinea pig. Written with a sure sense of narrative and an understanding of the concerns and the learning styles of children, the story finds apt expression in Gott's digital artwork, which has the appearance of cut-paper collage. The cartoon-style look and movement of the characters, unusual for collages, intensifies the book's child appeal. Kids may find inspiration in Jenny's wonderfully expressive, but convincingly childlike drawings to create their own illustrated stories. A fresh, fine offering. Carolyn Phelan
