Tana Hoban has died at age 88.  Her obituary is in the New York Times.  She has written, designed and illustrated over 100 books for children, and she did it with photographs that were vivid even when black and white.  Her books are marvelous for sharing with very young children, because they get kids talking and involved in books.  Consider them especially for children who don’t want to sit through stories, because they are concept books of the finest quality.
