Ed Emberley has an amazing website. It is filled with information on him and his books. But best of all, it has animations and drawing pages to inspire kids to try art, and pdf files for printable activities. Click on the month you want, and you will find all sorts of things to do from paper airplanes, to mazes, to coloring sheets. And best of all, throughout the entire site, the feeling of an Ed Emberley book is maintained. Nicely done!

This is an interesting peek into the latest way to package and sell novels to teenage girls.
