Though Peet is the author-illustrator of 30 widely popular
children's books, writing them was a second career: an aspiring
painter, he joined Disney during the production of Snow White in
order to make a living and stayed on for more than 30 years, making
major contributions to Disney's best work, before developing his
own unique picture-book style. Peet's account is also unique among
new autobiographies for children. His lively drawings are so
abundant that the format here resembles a picture book: with Peet's
discerning eye and witty pencil, they contribute as much as his
excellent text without earmarking the book for younger readers
only. The sketches of Disney himself in action are a special
addition to film history. Peet is forthright about the poor grades
he got in school (he was interested only in drawing) and the family
difficulties caused by an improvident father; he includes
wonderfully revealing anecdotes about Disney. How be adapted his
considerable skills to book illustration provides a Fascinating
insight into the creative process. An excellent blend of verbal and
visual social history and self-revelation that should have broad
appeal. (Kirkus Reviews)
Bill Peet tells his life story, including his years with Disney, with illustrations on every page.
