Arnox is eagerly awaiting "how to train your dragon"

[unbreakable matter]

he will be in the theater with paper mache wings on opening weekend

[panthrax]

Haha, I actually giggled at this a little. Giggled like a faggot, I did.

Does Arnox like dragons? I remember my brother buying me the Graeme Base book "Dragons, Dragons" when I was a kid. He's the same author/illustrator that did the book "Animalia" and "The Eleventh Hour". He's a pretty exceptional artist. Maybe, Arnox should check out "Dragons, Dragons" if he hasn't already? It may be a picture book, but like I said - his illustrations are elaborate and mindblowing. And, the concept of the book is pretty cool, too.

Some of his artwork from the book in question is picture below :

Those look kinda familiar. I remember "dragonheart"

you have an encyclopedic knowledge of 20-40 year old children's books. It's uncanny.

I will ask you this though:

Have you ever read "dinotopia?"

[Proots]

I have not. I just looked it up, though. My mother is a librarian so whenever I see her again, I'll ask her to get a hold of a copy for me. I dig talented artists/illustrators.

yeah, it's got some beautiful pictures but it's pretty interesting as well. I remember there was a "10 commandments" of dinotopia and one was "eat to live, don't live to eat" and somehow this has always stuck with me. You probably have a different perspective being Greek and all, lol.

Another kids book with good pictures was ""the polar express" IIRC

[Rizzo in a box]

"eat to live, don't live to eat"

IIRC that's originally a quote by a greek philosopher (maybe socrates or somethin).

"The Polar Express" also had exceptional artwork. I believe the same guy who wrote/illustrated "The Polar Express" also did "Jumanji" and a few other awesomely executed concept stories.

Now I will ask you this: Have you ever read "zoom at sea?" There were a couple other "zoom" books as well, I think they were by Tim Wynne Jones who wrote young adult stories as well that I thought were pretty nuts. I remember there was a short story about a kid who discovered the I ching when a family member died or his parents were getting divorced or something, and all throughout the collection of short stories the I ching was the theme. It sounds pretty gay when you explain it but to a kid, different short stories with callbacks are pretty cool. I remember one of the stories (or possibly a different one) was about a kid who broke into cabins and met a writer in one

anyways, here's a pic from "zoom at sea" it's fuckin adorable

Yet another one I am strangely unfamiliar with. This thread is now about children's book authors/illustrators.

Can I bring up Goosebumps? It was an amazing TV show and I'm glad RL Stine decided to pick it up with the Haunting Hour, it is just as creepy minus the nostalgia feeling.

I would force my children to read the "Scary Stories" collection, with the artwork that you and I and many others grew up with. The disturbing imagery would be good for their developing psyche.

I would also make them read "The Little Prince" since, it's probably one of the best children's stories every written. They are also going to experience "Goodnight Moon" whether they like it or not. I'm going to have to think of more...
