Book Description
Artist and photographer tweak the noses of their subjects in a series of playful portraits
Photographer Inge Morath and the late New Yorker artist Saul Steinberg engaged in a unique collaboration in the late 1950s and early 1960s by having friends and acquaintances don paper bags drawn with fantastic faces and then posing them for photographs. In a delightful series of individual and group portraits--now published together for the first time--otherwise respectable people have been implicated in their mischief. Morath's straightforward, reportorial style is the perfect counterpoint to Steinberg's charming, whimsical masks. The deadpan of the photography, the Paul Klee-like humor of the drawing, and the intriguing anonymity of the figures--we don't know who they are, but we know exactly who they are--stir a spirit of mischievious charm that will make this the perfect little gift book.

the greatest artist of the 20th century.......2001-07-13
Saul Steinberg is not generally considered to be the best artist in the 20th century, I realise that, but I think he definitely is. This book is proof once more. Do not be mislead by this man's sense of humor, or the sheer fun his work radiates. Yes, one can be a genius and funny at the same time! This book shows you why Steinberg is considered an Artist's artist by many. The book shows people wearing masks made of brown paper bags. The astonishing thing is that the masks are not traditional masks, they are re-inventions of the traditional portrait. Better then Picasso, and more then just cartoonesk. This is an amazing, beautiful book. It's time all the other Steinberg books got back in print, and, please, do it with just as much love as this one: it's a real gem!
Whimsical and recommended for art libraries.......2001-03-02
In the late 1950s and early 1960s photographer Morath and New Yorker artist Steinberg collaborated on photos of friends who wore paper bag faces for the event. Their photos appear here for the first time in a fine series of portraits of various subjects and settings. Whimsical and recommended for art libraries.

Customer Reviews:
Wrong Title.......2007-08-30
This is not a book about Picture Writing. It is about how a writer can "direct" an illustrator(p.24 in the book). This is not how it actually works in picture books. The author can make notes for the artist as a guidance, but not give directions.
It is obviously written by a non-visual person. If you want a book about Picture Writing, look at Uri Shulevitz Writing with Pictures.
An INCREDIBLE book!!!.......2003-01-25
This is the BEST book ever written on the art of writing for children and young adults - and I have read most of them! Suen provides essential insider information that gives aspiring authors the confidence to pursue their writing dreams. If you want to write for young people - whether infants or high schoolers - you must read this book!!!
A GREAT WAY TO HAVE THIS CHILDREN'S WRITER WORK WITH YOU!.......2003-01-16
Reading and using this book is almost the same as taking Anastasia's online Intensive Picture Book courses. In fact in some ways it's like taking IPB 3 ! Anastasia leads writers a few steps further than many "how to write for children" books do. The exercises help you study and discover what works while they also set up habits of keeping a writer's journal for you to think about your writing process, and a reader's log to keep track of what you've read. There's something for everyone- from board books to YA, fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Make sure to check out the great info in marketing and in each appendix!

Book Description
Deborah Appleman is a dynamo.... [A] positive energy of possibility is reflected in all her work, including the book you hold in your hands now.
- Jeffrey D. Wilhelm, coauthor of Reading Don't Fix No Chevys
Just as adolescents aren't only students, literate behaviors aren't only for school. Engaging students in reading for pleasure through extramural book clubs can promote both lifelong literacy habits and improved in-school performance. Reading for Themselves shows you how to create and make the most of out-of-class book clubs.
Based on five years of research in urban and suburban schools, Reading for Themselves provides a theoretical rationale for starting out-of-school book clubs and practical strategies for nurturing them. Deborah Appleman shows you how book clubs simultaneously give teenagers a positive reading experience and give you insights about their reading and useful information for instruction. With numerous examples drawn from student book clubs, Appleman offers smart suggestions for:
- helping reluctant readers become enthusiastic, lifelong readers
- giving students a structure within which to discover an extracurricular reading life as they transition toward adulthood
- using alternative instructional practices to encourage students as they read
- understanding how gender affects literacy practices and how it can inform your teaching practices
- building bridges between kids by using contemporary literature as a starting point for discussions of issues of race, class, and culture
Reading for Themselves gives you, the teacher, all the tools you need to play the role of facilitatorincluding book lists and facilitator's tipsin a book club motivated by student choice and interest. As your book club reads on, Appleman is there with ways to help readers negotiate the passage between adolescent and adult literacy, the border between school-sponsored and self-sponsored reading, and the differences in identity between groups from diverse geographical, social, and cultural backgrounds.
Pleasure is the most compelling purpose for reading, and there's no better way to introduce students to the joys of lifelong reading than with out-of-school book clubs. Read Deborah Appleman today and get your students Reading for Themselves.

Invaluable resource for drama teachers!.......2000-06-21
I was delighted with the wealth of information based on real life experience. Ms Poisson does not merely throw out theory, she delivers proven techniques and usable ideas for the individual teaching or contemplating teaching drama on the high school level. After taking this book out of the public library and reading it, I knew that I would have to own it because it will be an invaluable resource throught my teaching career!
