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.

Bad Boy
by Walter Dean Myers
Into a memoir that is gripping, funny, heartbreaking, and unforgettable, Walter Dean Myers richly weaves the details of his Harlem childhood in the 1940s and 1950s: a loving home life with his adopted parents, Bible school, street games, and the vitality of his neighborhood. Although Walter spent much of his time either getting into trouble or on the basketball court, secretly he was a voracious reader and an aspiring writer. But as his prospects for a successful future diminished, the values he had been taught at home, in school, and in his community seemed worthless, and he turned to the streets and his books for comfort. Here in his own words is the story of one of the strongest voices in children's and young adult literature today.
