Brief description:
Paul Galdone was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1907 and emigrated to the United States in 1928.

He illustrated almost three hundred books, many of which he himself wrote. The winner of two Caldecott Honors, Mr. Galdone is fondly remembered for his lively style, bright earthy humor, and action-filled illustrations, which will continue to delight for generations to come. www.paulgaldone.com
