Truth is, I do end up buying more things for others than for myself. I can find some great Christmas presents. And some pretty great books for my kids.
Have you seen this one? Apparently I am the last person on the planet to hear of Ed Emberley. I googled him just this morning and found out all about him. Mr. Emberley even has a cute website of his very own!
This book was published in 1970 as a Scholastic Book. How did I miss seeing it then? I paid 75 cents for mine. I gave it to the wolf artist. And the first thing he checked for was to see if there was instructions for drawing a wolf. Yes! There were 2 - Wolf and Wolf Running. I was saved, he liked it!
I think I now want to try my hand at taking some of these images and translating them into some applique and hand embroidery. Maybe I can add wolf running on a t-shirt for my boy. He can always sleep in it.

Thank you for the comment on my "patchwork nest" at flickr. :) It's nice to meet you. :)
Also, the illustration of the little girl on your homepage looks exactly like my aunt Laurie as a girl. I'll have to email you some of her old photos.
Aaaaaan I totally remember this book's illustrations and had forgotten all about them until I read your post about them. What a great memory-jog that was. :)
Oh, how I DO love Ed!
I just found that book recently for a quarter at the thrift store. His thumb print book is AMAZING also.
Oh my gosh! This was my favorite drawing book when I was little. I spent hours doodling all the little critters in there. Makes me wonder if my mom still has it. Thanks so much for bringing back the memory!
