Draw Me a Star by Eric Carle is a beautifully draw story about a star and an artist. It all starts with the simple request to draw me a star. After that each item requests a new drawing anywhere from a house to a cat to the night and a moon.
I picked this book up because a co-worker made a comment about one of the drawings. Knowing it was Eric Carle, the beloved author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, I was intrigued. The story was good, but the artwork was better, but the personal letter at the end was the best.
Favorite line: I do not have a line. I have a picture. It is the picture in the middle of the book with no words, just everything the artist was asked to draw - a rainbow, a house, people, animals, and butterflies.
I don't know if there will ever be a writer/artist who can compare to Carle.
