Summary

An autobiography of the artist, author, children's book illustrator, and cartoonist. Peet describes his difficult childhood and his years in school studying art, but mostly he concentrates on his life as an animator and story editor for Walt Disney Studios, where he worked on such films as "Snow White", "Dumbo", and "101 Dalmatians". Peet eventually left Disney to write and illustrate his own books for children, including "Cyrus the Unsinkable Sea Serpent", "Jethro and Joel Were a Troll", "Randy's Dandy Lions", and "Zella, Zack, and Zodiac". Illustrated with b&w drawings.
