Chris Ware on Richard Scarry and the Art of Children's Literature

The illustrator Chris Ware surveys the work of Richard Scarry.

Note

a helpful retrospective to better put into context why i have read these books so many times (for myself and for a little one).

my favorite part is how scarry didn't kid test his books because he himself still retained the perspective of a kid at heart.
