ARNOLD LOBEL (1933-1987) "Mostly Animals." Headpiece illustration for the chapter "Mostly Animals" published in Sing a Song of Popcorn: Every Child's Book of Poems" (New York: Scholastic Inc., 1988), page 61. Watercolor, ink, and correction fluid on paper. 102 mm; 4 inches, tondo, on larger sheet. Unsigned. Tipped to matte and archivally framed. Arnold Lobel was one of the greatest children's book illustrators of his generation. As gifted with words as pictures, he was one of a very few people to be honored by both the Newbery and Caldecott Committees. Although he won the Caldecott Medal for Fables (1980), he earned his immortality with the highly successful Frog and Toad series. "Lobel dealt head on with the complexities, misunderstandings, and emotional swings that define a true friendship," fellow illustrator Mo Willems has observed. "I can think of few creators who cared as much about his characters' emotional well-being as he did."
