Cats are known as solitary animals. They don't hunt communally or share the spoils of a hunt. Sometimes cats with adjoining territories will get together for a pleasant evening grooming session, but on the whole they are not the most
By Amy Goetzman | Thursday, Nov.
When I turned 8 years old, I had a large birthday party with everyone from my grade and even my teacher in attendance. (I lived in a small town so that puts the numbers into perspective). My teacher gave me the following book: The Everything Book: A Treasury of Things to Make and Do by Eleanor Graham Vance Illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman I loved this book. I still have it. It is long out of print. I loved the crafts and ideas in it but the thing that I loved the most were the illustrations. Thus began my love of the illustrations of Trina Schart Hyman. In college, while I studied Children's literature, I bought the book The Fortune Tellers by Lloyd Alexander and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman The story is an original folktale from Cameroon. The story of a young man visiting -- and then becoming -- the village fortune-teller. The story is very good, and the illustrations are spectacular. (Note: if you can get your hands on this book do! It is a feast for the eyes. It is also a wonderful book for folktale use as well as as for multi-cultural themes). Since then I have expanded my collection of Trina Schart Hyman illustrated books. I love her drawings. They are spectacular. She has done many fairy tales. (A genre I love). She is most well known for her books in which she has won Caldecott Awards: Saint George and the Dragon Retold by margaret Hodgen Illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman Caldecott Medal 1985 Margaret Hodges retells the story of Saint George and the Dragon from Spenser's The Faerie Queene. The Red Cross Knight slays a dragon that has been terrorizing the countryside for years, bringing peace and joy back to the land. She collaborated again with Margaret Hodges on two Arthuraian books. The Kitchen Night: A Tale of King Arthur Merlin and the Making of the King This is a collection of three Arthurian legends with Merlin the wizard, and Arthur's rise to King of England. The stories include the witch Morgan le Fay, the traitor Mordred and the story of Sir Lancelot. Little Red Riding Hood retold and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman Caldecott Honor, 1984 I love this book so much I blogged about it here: My Obsession Little Red Riding Hood Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblinsby Eric Kimmel and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman Caldecott Honor, 1990 A Child's Calendar Poems by John Updike illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman Caldecott Honor, 2000 She also illustrated covers of some of my favorite novels. Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink A Midwife's Apprentice by Karen Cushman Matilda Bone by Karen Cushman Ronia, The Robber's Daughter by Astrid Lindgren But her illustrated fairy tales are my real favorites! Swan Lake as told by Margot Fonteyn and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman The Sleeping Beauty retold and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman Snow White by Paul Heins illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman Rapunzel Retold by Barbara Rogsky Illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman King Stork by Howard Pyle Written and Illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie Illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman This illustrated version is one of the best. The beauty of Trina's illustrations capture the sweet sadness of the story so well. I ADORE this illustration of Princess Tiger Lily!! A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas She had her illustrations in countless books. Seek her out next time you are at your favorite bookstore or library. This list is by no means representative of all that she did. It is only some of my favorites. Lastly, she worked with Jean Fritz. She illustrated some of Jean Fritz's history books, which I LOVE! Why Don't You Get a Horse Sam Adams? by Jean Fritz illustrated by Trina S. Hyman Will You Sign Here John Hancock? by Jean Fritz illustrated by Trina S. Hyman The Man Who Loved Books by Jean Fritz and illustrations by Trina Schart Hyman One last one, just for fun!
Cats had a bad reputation in the middle ages. Their presumed links with paganism and witchcraft meant they were often treated with suspicion. But despite their association with the supernatural, medieval manuscripts showcase surprisingly playful images of our furry friends.
