Author 58: Lois Ehlert utilizes collages and shapes


With simple shapes and collages and everyday items, Lois Ehlert creates simple works that convey a world of meaning in one picture. Growing Vegetable Soup takes the reader on a journey from seed to finished soup. Snowballs uses some simple round circles and everyday items to create unique specimens in the world of snowman creation. I appreciate how Ms. Ehlert lists the items used on the snowmen at the end of the book. There's everything from a button to a Peruvian sock to a toy wheel.
