I pin the sketched pages in sequences on the walls of my studio so I can see the book as a whole. About her technique, Burton has said “My subject matter, with a few exceptions such as Calico, I draw directly from life, and I literally draw my books first and write down the text after. She wrote, illustrated and designed the typefaces that were used in each of her books. The fascinating thing about Burton’s work is how thoroughly involved she was in every single aspect. From there, Houghton Mifflin released Katy and the Big Snow (1943), Maybelle the Cable Car (1952), and Life Story (1962). Following the publication of Calico the Wonder Horse, or The Saga of Stewy Stinker, she won the Caldecott Medal for The Little House in 1943.
Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel was publised in 1939. In 1935, Virginia Lee Burton followed in her mother’s footsteps and Choo Choo was published by Houghton Mifflin, showcasing both her writing and illustrating talents. Burton and Demetrios had two sons (Aristides and Michael). She and Demetrios fell in love and were married just a few short months later. How did it make them feel?-Have the kids draw the house they grew up in.Under George Demetrios at the Boston Museum School, she studied drawing. It also hints at the loss of focus on the true importance of things and people.Extension Ideas:-ask the children about older siblings moving away or moving out of the house you grew up in. The concept that industry came where wasn't any was also a big sign of the age of the book. It looks like it is a chalk like texture. The drawing and coloring of the book is older and aged. In the end though change can be an adjustment and sad, but it can also be positive in the end. Its a sad story that focuses on how things change as we grow especially when I miss my family. She was able to be happy again because she had a family and was in a peaceful place.Personal Reaction: I remember this book from when I was younger, and also remembering that it was an older style book then. Finally a distant family member of the original builder of the house found her and uprooted the house and moved it to a country and peaceful spot. The family that built her also grew up and changed leave her more lonely as the kids grew. Industry grew up around her till she was smashed between two big buildings.
As time passed things around her changed. Summary:It's about a Little Red House that is built in the country.
