You can definitely distinguish his work from others. Same holds true for Jerry Pinkney and THE LION AND THE MOUSE. Just finished a review for that as well. Love my job of reviewing books. The beautiful thing is my children benefit from it. We read and review together. :-) Keep up the great job of sharing your thoughts and ideas! We are both raising readers for sure!!!

You're right about being able to identify certain creators just by their style - these days it's started happening with Eric Carle and Kevin Henkes for my daughter. There are just so many different kinds of wonderful experiences and discoveries to be shared when you read to children - it's fascinating. @Lara – Thanks so much for your kind words.

Not only are you giving credit, you are helping your child to see how certain authors do certain things in their books. You can look at the style of the illustrator to the way an author develops a character for older children. Some authors and illustrators you can tell who they are before seeing their names. Thanks for sharing this important step in reading a book and taking the extra time to share it with your child. You are a wonderful example to her!
