Kate McMullan was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1947. When she was a small child, she listened as her father read the comics aloud and her mother shared books and poems. As soon as she could, McMullan read her way through the public library. She had two guinea pigs, George and ZaaZaa, whose antics have had new life in the stories of Fluffy, the Classroom Guinea Pig, one of several series McMullan has authored.
While she has always written, McMullan began her professional life as a teacher, graduating from the University of Tulsa and Ohio State University with Bachelor's and Master's degrees, respectively, in elementary education. She taught fourth and sixth grades in inner-city Los Angeles and on an American Air Force base in Germany before becoming an editor of language arts and audiovisual materials for a New York City publishing house in 1976. Her first children's book, written as Katy Hall — her name at the time — was published one year later.
Since then, McMullan has written more than 50 books for children. Generations of children have delighted in the jokes and riddles she has written and collected (often in collaboration with Lisa Eisenberg) under the name Katy Hall; as Kate McMullan, she has written nonfiction, several popular middle-grade novels, and picture books illustrated by her husband, Jim McMullan. As K. H. McMullan, she has created the imaginative Dragon Slayers' Academy series. McMullan also teaches writing for children at New York University's School of Continuing and Professional Education and is on the faculty of the New School's MFA Writing Program.
McMullan lives in New York City and Sag Harbor, New York, with her husband, their daughter, and two cats, George and Wendy.
当图画书这一概念或这一词汇出现在中国读者的视听范围内时,对它感到陌生的读者不禁要问:是不是就是漫画,或者卡通? 很多对图画书已有认识的读者和阅读推广人都会肯定地说不是。我们单从绘画的创作上来看,卡通和漫画的创作除去基本的纸、笔之外,还有一些特殊的辅助工具,诸如网点纸、笔刀、压网刀、拷贝台等,这些辅助工具帮助绘者画出效果统一的背景或规整的纹理,做 出相同的造型拷贝等。某种程度上说,这也造成卡通、漫画有其固有的绘画风格和模式。 从这一点上来看,图画书与卡通、漫画绝不相同。到目前为止,我们看到的图画书大部分都是采用传统绘画的方法,如铅笔、水彩、丙烯、油画、油画棒,甚至有木刻和套印等特殊技法的运用。近二三十年来,图画书的创作手法越来越丰富多元,很多画家在创作同一本图画书的时候都不会仅限于利用一种颜色或技法,他们将各种手法结合,甚至在一些书里除了不同的绘画技法之外,还融入类似于浮雕或者实景照片与图画拼贴等多种综合手法。但是这些创作的过程,都是全手工的艺术创作,不存在模板或拷贝等方法,绝不复制。每一幅图画都可以成为一幅精彩的美术作品。可以说,图画书的绘画风格千变万化,没有画家尝试不到的,只有读者意想不到的。
评分给孩子囤货的,质量不错。
评分念书给孩子们听,就好像和孩子们手牵手到故事国去旅行,共同分享同一段充满温暖语言的快乐时光。即使经过几十年,我们仍然以自己的方式,将这些宝贵的经验和美好的回忆珍藏在内心深处。孩子们长大以后,我才真正了解到,当时我用自己的声音、自己的语言讲了这么多故事的意义在哪里。我也发现,通过念这些书,我已经在他们小时候,把一个做父亲的想对孩子们说的话说完了。
评分桥梁书,彩色版,很可爱
评分多读书,可以让你全身都有礼节。俗话说:“第一印象最重要。”从你留给别人的第一印象中,就可以让别人看出你是什么样的人。所以多读书可以让人感觉你知书答礼,颇有风度。
评分这个出版社出版的书,不错
评分桥梁书,分级读物。反正是看见这个系列的就买,没的说的。京东之前一直缺货,这次1111搞活动,很多书都补货了。看见有就买,好多书都买重复了,退吗也不划算,只能送人。超级郁闷啊!不过还是有货就忍不住收。还是那句话,有货就买。
