The Richard Scarry classic is now available as a Little Golden Book-for the first time ever!
OLE RISOM (1920-2000) was one of the most influential publishers of
mass-market books for children. He was vice-president and art
director of Golden Books at Western Publishing Company from
1952-1972, and then vice-president and associate publisher of the
juvenile division of Random House from 1972-1990. He worked closely
with his good friend Richard Scarry over the years at both houses.
He also worked with Dr. Seuss, Jim Henson, Stan and Jan Berenstain,
Leo Lionni, Laurent de Brunhoff, Charles M. Schulz, and Marc
Brown.
RICHARD SCARRY (1919-1994) is one of the world's best-loved
children's book authors ever! No other illustrator has shown such a
lively interest in the words and concepts of early childhood. After
a stint in the army, Scarry showed his portfolio to one of the
original editors at Golden Books in 1948. There he found the
perfect home for his children's books. In the extraordinary career
that followed, Scarry illustrated well over 100 books, many of
which have never been out-of-print.
