William Steig, twentieth century illustrator and author
William Steig was born in 1907--a hundred years ago this year. He became known in the 1930s-1950s for his cartoons in the New Yorker. He succeeded in having numerous covers for that periodical, too. He illustrated commercial ads for Libby, Delco, Kellogg's, and many other companies. His Small Fry cartoon characters became well-known--so well-known that "Poor Pitiful Pearl" doll was created and marketed by him. Many baby-boomers owned this doll, which can be attested to by the bidding wars for her on ebay. Steig was over sixty when he first wrote a children's book, CDB. After that great start, he wrote many more. He won the Caldecott Medal for "Sylvester and the Magic Pebble." He received Newbery and Caldecott Honors for other books and numerous other prestigeous awards for his children's books. Pete's a Pizza is still a huge favorite. But, his best known creation was Shrek, which he wrote in 1990 and sold the movie rights in 1995. His illustration style ranges from the rolly-polly Small Fry to the more jagged, kid-like figures found in his later works. The book, Grown-ups Get to Do All the Driving, may be a kid's book, but its humor is definitely adult. Children will probably see truisms while adults can appreciate how silly they must look in the eyes of children. Each page is a cartoon that exists on its own but also adds to the entire theme of the book. Illustrations are clear with no clutter allowing them to be easily enlarged and posted. Plus, each has its own biting humor. Steig was on the top of his game when he created this work. I own a number of Steig's books: ones he wrote, ones he illustrated, and ones he both wrote and illustrated. Grown-ups Get to Do All the Driving is one that he both wrote and illustrated. Yet, is one of the more difficult books to find at library book sales or used book stores. Therefore, I was happy to locate my copy on eBay. I am a librarian at Mount St. Mary's College in Los Angeles. Because of Steig's centary, we librarians here decided to honor his life by displaying his works in our main display case. I specifically sought out this book to put in the case. But, of course, I read it first. I think it is one of his better books, which can be enjoyed on many levels by all ages. It is a good introduction to the humor of William Steig.
