Peet Sampler – 2
- Last week I posted samples from half of the Bill Peet books in Bill Peckmann‘s collection. Here, I give you a sampler of the other half. They add up to 26 books. Not bad considering 34 of them were published by Peet. This puts him just behind Maurice Sendak and Dr. Seuss as the third most prolific American children’s book author/illustrator.
As with the other Peet postings, I’ve eliminated the text from the illustrations. I hope this will encourage many of you to buy some of these books. Personally, I’d start with Bill Peet: An Autobiography.
Many thanks to Bill Peckmann, of course, for sharing.

I’ve read Bill Peet’s autobiography before. His drawings on the Disney films and characters are very similar to his non-Disney illustrated books. I wonder if his Disney drawing style was gone by then?
