‘I want you to draw me a dinosaur. Not a scary one. He’s taking a bath.’
This is a master at her finest. The Tiny Art Director is brilliant. Her critique is harsh, but fair. Her eye is fine and discerning. With requests like that, a book of her genius is only deserved.**‘Daddy it’s not supposed to be like that!’ she says of the dinosaur. ‘He has dog legs! I’m so mad at you! Why did you do those legs?!’ [Collapses in tears].
‘I have to admit’, concedes the artist, author and father Bill Zeman, ‘her critiques were right on.’
Touché, Daddy. Touché.
