Items related to Writing!: by Murray McCain and John Alcorn
Just as vibrant and stunning as its companion title 1962 New York Times book of the year BOOKS! this vintage title by Murray McCain and illustrated by John Alcorn will dazzle and delight in AMMO s updated, reissue edition. Following the release of BOOKS! in 1962, WRITING! was published in 1964, and like its predecessor, it features charming, hand-drawn illustrations and inventive typography. Celebrating the beauty of the written word, WRITING! echoes the sentiments of BOOKS! in its exploration of language, letters, and lovely, lilting literature. Alcorn s vivid graphics and impressive illustrations illuminate McCain s humorous and imaginative storytelling.

Review:
"This book will appeal to everyone, young or old; it will draw you in and encourage you to invent, create, manipulate your writing. Its lighthearted tone expresses its earnest joy in creation and love of writing, and speaks with the pure simplicity that respects children and reproves sesquipedalian adults. This book was first published fifty years ago, but the illustrations and text are as beguiling now as they were then. It is a lovely, lively, beautiful book." --Manhattan Book Review
"First published in 1964, Writing! is a classic children's picture book about the joy and craft of turning one's thoughts into words. Simple illustrations and a handful of suggested exercises encourage young people to express their creativity. ... A timeless classic, highly recommended for public or school library children's picture book collections." --Children's Bookwatch, Midwest Book Review
