Rinker, Sherri Duskey Big Machines: The Story of Virginia
Lee Burton, illustrated by John Rocco.
PICTURE BOOK. Houghton Mifflin,
2017. $18.
This is more like a tour through Burton’s most famous
picture books than anything that tells you much about her life. The most informational part of the book is
the supplemental information at the end.
The rest is pretty impressionistic, if you can call a book such, without
being helpful or charming. First rate
author, first rate illustrator – I’m not sure why this is what they
created. I can only see this as being
liked by diehard Burton fans.
GIFT – OPTIONAL.
