He knew little kids were smart, and he didn't talk down to them in his stories. He was right--kids loved his picture books. Decades after his death, the characters he illustrated--Miss Nelson, Viola Swamp, George and Martha, Goldilocks, Fox and His Friends--are still beloved. James Marshall should be at \u003ci\u003eleast\u003c\/i\u003e as famous as his characters, and now he is, in his own picture book biography. Created in an irreverent style inspired by James Marshall's own art and storytelling, this delightful biography, featuring James as a fox, celebrates in both form and content what made James--\"Jim\" to his friends--so talented, funny, and special, and what has made his tales last. This time, \u003ci\u003eJim \u003c\/i\u003eis the main character. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Funny and filled with [insights.]\" --\u003ci\u003eBooklist, \u003c\/i\u003estarred review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \"A better bio of Jim could hardly exist.\" --\u003ci\u003eKirkus, \u003c\/i\u003estarred review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \"Poignantly, comically human.\" --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJerrold Connors was born in the United States, raised in Indonesia and Canada, and currently makes his home in the Bay Area in Northern California.
