writing! by murray mccain and john alcorn

We are excited to offer the repress of one of our favorite books ever!

"WRITING!", by Murray McCain and illustrated by John Alcorn, was recently reissued by AMMO in an updated edition. Just like its companion title "BOOKS!", which was the 1962 New York Times book of the year, "WRITING!" is full of charming hand-drawn illustrations and creative typography. It celebrates the beauty of the written word and shares the sentiments of "BOOKS!" in its exploration of language, letters, and literature. Alcorn's vivid graphics and impressive illustrations enhance McCain's humorous and imaginative storytelling. Children will be inspired to create their own stories or drawings as they marvel at the midcentury design on each page of this new, large format book.

"This is a book about Writing: about alphabets and words, and how they came to be, and all the wonderful things you can do with them. Look through its pages and see for yourself why this book is for you!"
