Leonardo May Be a Terrible Monster, But He Makes for Great Book/Body Art
Here's our latest installment of "From Head-to-Tome," featuring Mo Willems's Leonardo, the Terrible Monster. Got some fun photos of kidlit book/body blends? Send them to the Corpus Libris Blog, run by Emily Pullen of Skylight Books.
Having Fun With Bertolt Brecht From Head to Tome
In the above photo, my son takes on the role of Uncle Ede from head to tome in Bertolt Brecht's Onkel Ede Hat Einen Schnurrbart.A book of twelve Kinderlieder, or children's songs, the titular piece translates roughly as such:
Uncle Ede Has a Moustache
Uncle Ede has a moustache
The moustache has five hairs.
And so that he doesn't lose any of them
Each one has a name.
They're named Fritz and Otto
And Max and Karl and Paul.
Max is somewhat sickly
And Fritz is somewhat lazy.
What are your must-have moustache picture books? Add them in the comments section if you feel so moved. Thanks!
Corpus Libris: Are You Book Enough?
Are you such a bibliophile that you don't know your toe from your tome? Your vertebral spine from your leather-bound spine? Your appendix from your appendix? Then the art of Corpus Libris is for you!Formalized by Emily Pullen of Skylight Books in Los Angeles, the art of Corpus Libris consists of photographing a book and subject such that the two appear blended. Please hop over to the Corpus Libris blog for some cool examples.
When I learned about the Corpus Libris phenomenon, I dug around in my digital archives to retrieve the above photo of my son with a monstrous spread from Deb Lund and Robert Neubecker's Monsters on Machines.
Link in! I'd love to see your kidlit Corpus Libris pics!
