Cece shares songs from Animal Albums from A to Z and talks about the new book!
Meet Cece Bell, and learn about her new all-ages alphabet book, which is a hand-wrought, high-fidelity, hilariously tongue-in-cheek homage to the golden days of album cover art. The bouncing harmonies of the Barbershop Beagles, the elegant crooning of the elephant Ella Fontaine, the hilarious rhymes of the Hip-Hop Hedgehogs—all are represented in this quirky ABC book that draws on the creator’s personal collection of albums, memorabilia, and lyrics dating between 1944 and 1984, the heyday of album design.
Cece is the creator of the graphic novel El Deafo, which was a Newbery Honor Book and a Will Eisner Comic Industry Award winner, the Geisel Honor Book Rabbit and Robot: The Sleepover, Rabbit and Robot and Ribbit, I Yam a Donkey!, Bee-Wigged, Itty Bitty, the Chick and Brain books, and the Sock Monkey series. She has also created books with her husband, Tom Angleberger, including Crankee Doodle and the Inspector Flytrap series.
ASL interpretation and closed captioning will be available.
