Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
In 6 Kapiteln wird hier über die Erstellung von Kinderbüchern geschrieben.
Im ersten Kapitel geht es um die Idee, den Markt, die möglichen Themen und die Recherche.
Das zweite Kapitel behandelt die Vorteile von Skizzenbüchern, die verschiedenen Proportionen von Kindern, die unterschiedliche Behandlung von Kindern in den jeweiligen Altersstufen und noch einige Grafische Gegebenheiten, wie Figur und Grund, schmückende Rahmen usw.
Alles rund um die Story behandelt das dritte Kapitel, von der Struktur der jeweiligen Geschichte, den verschiedenen Erzählformen, Finden eines Anfangs und natürlich der Höhepunkt und Schluß der Geschichte. Es geht um Dummys, Buchcover und auch etwas Farbtheorie.
Das vierte Kapitel behandelt den Markt der Non-Fiction Kinderbücher und in Kapitel 5 dreht sich alles um die Zeichentechnik und die verschiedenen Medien, mit welchen die Illustrationen erstellt werden können. Abschließend geht Kapitel sechs auf die Veröffentlichung ein.
Das Buch ist reich bebildert, und spart nicht mit Beispielen namhafter Illustratoren. Es ist gut durchzulesen, da die Informationen kompakt und in kleinen Portionen verpackt serviert werden.
Wer sich für das Erstellen von Kinderbüchern interessiert kann hier problemlos zugreifen. Leider liegt dieses Buch nur in Englisch vor.
Eine tolle Ergänzung zu dem Buch ist: Illustrating Children's Picture Books von Steven Withrow und Lesley Breen Withrow.

The book is very nicely made, but unfortunately it doesn't say much, especially since it's supposed to be an encyclopledia!
Every page is a different step in the writing process: "target market", "themes", "research", etc. It's full of drawings and little text. Often talks about "finding your own style" and the like and sets some examples that don't bring much.
I would think of this book more of a summary of the process of writing a book for children. But in no case an encyclopedia.

Visually fun and very informative
12. Dezember 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I wish the publisher of this book would allow Amazon to show a peek of what's inside. I've purchased many books on writing and illustrating children's books, but was wary about purchasing this one because only a cover illustration is shown. While the illustration shown is good, it's not in my style, so I was unsure if the contents would just be more of the same. Let me assure you there are a variety of styles shown. This book is fun to read and fun to look at, with plenty of illustrations and photos. As an encyclopedia, it is not an exhaustive "be all to end all" study of each topic, but rather it is chock full of introductory information with plenty of sidebars containing tips, exercises, and references to other books for further reading. Here is a copy of the table of contents:
*Introduction
*Chapter 1: Creating Children's Books
--The idea of a picture Book
--Target Markets
--Themes
--Coming Up With an Idea
--Research
*Chapter 2: Developing an Idea
--Sketchbooks
--Observing Children
--Media and Drawing Styles
--Developing Your Own Style
--Developing Characters
--Proportion
--Expression
--Movement
--Babies and Toddlers
--Boys and Girls
--Adults
--Anthropomorphism
--Figure and Ground
--Frames and Borders
*Chapter 3: Telling the Story
--Story Structure
--Writing Dialogue
--Avoiding Patronizing the Reader
--The Writer's Voice
--Point of View
--Beginnings
--Endings
--Age Level
--Novels
--Graphic Novels
--Page Dynamics
--Pace and Flow - Storyboarding
--Dummy Books
--Color Theory
--Designing with Color
--Paper Engineering (Reviewer's Note: Pop-up books)
--Novelty Books
--Book Jackets
*Chapter 4: Nonfiction
--The Nonfiction Market
--Illustrating Nonfiction
--Writing for Different Ages
--Creative Nonfiction
*Chapter 5: Media and Techniques
--Gallery of Techniques
--Translucent
--Line and Wash
--Dry Color
--Black and White
--Mixed Media and Collage
--Digital
--Making a Dummy Book
*Chapter 6: Professional Practice
--Working Life
--Copyright and Licensing
--Showing Your Work
--Getting a Commission
*Glossary
*Index
*Credits
The authors of this book are Welsh and the book was originally conceived, designed, and produced by Quarto Publishing in London. However, this is not a "Market Guide" for the United Kingdom, so if you don't live anywhere near the U.K., do not let that deter you from this book. Some reference books cited for further reading are U.S. published, and some are U.K. published. This book is a wonderful introduction to anyone interested in writing and/or illustrating a children's book. For example, basics such as "How to write a story plan" and how to incorporate "page turning appeal" are applicable to any writer. Most topics are given a two-page spread, but the six-page photo spread entitled "Making a Dummy Book" is great for first-timers. I recommend this book for beginners and for any children's book writer and illustrator who is a visual learner and, like me, is interested in amassing a huge library of reference books.

Absolutely Amazing - GET THIS BOOK.
22. Januar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I just got this book today and I just had to run on to give it a five-star review immediately.
First of all - this book is INCREDIBLY well-designed. I cannot stress this enough. There are so many how-to books about art that apparently don't put a lick of thought into their own design, which I hate. This book is just a pleasure to look at and absorb. Fun little fact boxes, doodles, notes, and examples decorate each page. As soon as I opened it, my first impression was: "Yes. Yes, this person knows EXACTLY what they're talking about." That's incredibly rare to find in an instructional book, I'm afraid.
I'm already a sequential art major in college, so there was a lot in this book that I was already familiar with - but I can say that the advice they're giving you beginners is absolutely dead on the money. Drawing from life, carrying a sketchbook around,and even talking about how to research or come up with idea. Spectacular! And even though I knew a lot of the beginning section, I enjoyed starting the little practice activities that they suggested on every page. There's even a colour wheel and guide that reminds me of my Colour and Comp clasess!
This book takes you from the first step (an idea, learning how to DRAW even) and walks you all the way to copyrighting and commission work, with EVERY step in between. They even have a few photoshop tutorials and a development guide for babies, which is super useful! So even if you already know how to draw or build characters, this book still has TONS for you. Story structure, age groups, POV, graphic novels, storyboarding - this book is basically a crash course in a Bachelors of Fine Arts, illustration focus.
With so much information crammed into one little 160 page book (it feels much lighter than I expected it to) - it's obviously not going into incredible depth. But make no mistake, at the end of every section they have recommendations to learn further in the subject. I already own several of the books they recommend, and they're absolutely fantastic! Raymond Briggs, Helen Oxenbury, Quentin Blake and many other fabulous well known illustrators are referenced and displayed in blooming lovely colour. These people OBVIOUSLY know exactly what they're talking about, and I can assure you that if you go out and buy the books THEY talk about - you'll be satisfied.
This book is absolutely incredible, you MUST get this. I am definitely going to look at the other books in this series, if they're anything at all near this quality - it's something special!

An excellent resource book for both the novice and professional!
20. Oktober 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As a final year student with a interest in writing and illustrating children's books, this product has been one of the best reference materials I have purchased to date. The book is separated into 6 chapters, each broken down to deal with topics such as idea formulation to idea development all the way to store and illustration structure. There are even chapters that handle the non-fiction market, media and techniques, as well as professional advice for interested writers/illustrators in this particular genre. I've been carefully reading it since I've received it, and it has been a great help to me as a student. If you're putting together a reference list on writing or illustrating books for children, this publication is a must-have. I heartily recommend it.
