One of our 2nd trimester standards for kindergarten is to define the words "author" and "illustrator." To support their learning, we're studying the work of two of my favorite illustrators:
Jon Klassen and
Bob Shea.
The students have noticed lots of differences between them; for example, Jon uses muted colors while Bob's pop off the page. The fonts in Jon's books are pretty simple, while Bob incorporates the text into his illustrations. Both, however, create wonderful images that the kids loved.

After reading "Dinosaur v. the Library" by Bob Shea, the kindergartners came up with their own drawings. (
