Beschrijving Children's Literature Association Series: Crockett Johnson and Ruth Krauss

Crockett Johnson and Ruth Krauss were a husband-and-wife team that created such popular children's books as The Carrot Seed and How to Make an Earthquake. Their style - whimsical writing, clear and minimalist drawing, and a child's point-of-view - is among the most revered and influential in children's literature. This critical biography examines their lives and careers.
