19601002448New York: Simon and Schuster 1960. First edition second printing of this interactive drawing book for children. The editors argue that conventional coloring books are "insulting to children's imagination and intelligence." In contrast The Poetry-Drawing Book offers young readers the opportunity to illustrate the text of forty different poems however inspiration strikes them and to sign their original contributions: "YOU are the artist from here on." Featured poems include Edward Lear's "There Was an Old Man with a Beard" Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Swing" and Gelett Burgess's "The Purple Cow." A graphically intriguing example of the turn in the 1960s to a more child-centered model of art education in the United States. Spiral-bound volume measuring 8.25 x 11 inches: 68. Original color pictorial wrappers. "Note to Parents and Teachers" on verso of front wrapper. Text printed on yellow white and blue paper with various decorations; many pages left blank for a child to complete. Front wrapper creased with two closed tears; small chip to lower wrapper; final page spotted red. Simon and Schuster unknown books
