Mr. Aruego's comic animals are immediately recognizable as they cavort through clear, vibrant landscapes, carrying out the action that the simple text has set in motion. It is a style one reviewer has termed \"illustrative mime.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJose Aruego was born in the Philippines, where he studied law. But after practicing briefly, he decided to come to the United States to study graphic arts and advertising at Parsons School of Design in New York City.

The tension was terrible, because selling cartoons was how I made my living. But I learned a lot from the rejected work, so it wasn't a waste. The sink-or-swim experience of drawing cartoons was how I learned to make the most of a small amount of space.\" Both abilities have helped him in his career as a children's book author and illustrator, which he began with the publication of \u003cem\u003eThe King and His Friends\u003c\/em\u003e in 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough he is known for his amusing characters, Jose Aruego takes writing and drawing for children very seriously. After more than three dozen books he feels he is still learning his craft and getting to know his audience. From the popularity and appeal of Jose Aruego's books, it is obvious that he has both the artistic skill and the imagination to reach the world of children. His work has a distinctive rhythm, and his humorous animal characters have a gaiety and playfulness that children adore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Each project teaches me something new and makes me a better artist.

It's a simple drawing and the teachers tell me that after my visit, Aruego alligators show up all over the school.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDewey, Ariane:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eAs a team, Ariane Dewey and Jose Aruego have illustrated over sixty children's books, including \u003cem\u003eLittle Louie the Baby Bloomer\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLeo the Late Bloomer\u003c\/em\u003e.

The other is brilliant orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a child I pored over Chicago's Shedd Aquarium catalog of exotically colored fish that seemed too gaudy to be real. My mother and I looked through art books and then sketched portraits of each other or painted watercolors of the armloads of wildflowers we picked. We still love to discuss the subtle juxtapositions of the colorful scenes and objects around us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArt was the most enjoyable part of school. I liked to squish gobs of finger paint on wet paper, or to write, illustrate, and bind stories into books, or, best of all, to paint stage sets for the school plays. I began to look at whatever I saw in terms of which medium--oil, pastel, collage, watercolor--would best catch the mood and texture before me. At Sarah Lawrence College I majored in painting and sculpture. After graduation I couldn't find an auto body shop willing to lend me space to work on welded sculptures. So I got a job with an industrial design firm doing picture research, among other more mundane tasks, and later became an art editor for a textbook publisher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoon after that I began writing and illustrating books for children with Jose Aruego, whimsical books with his clever lines and my vivid colors. Jose draws and I paint. We have illustrated some sixty books together, some of which we have also written. Critics have been kind, but, more important, children have been enthusiastic both in the United States and in the many foreign countries where our books have been published.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy fingers finally became itchy to do my own drawings, so I started by retelling and illustrating the stories I loved best as a child. A mini-series of regional American tall tales enabled me to indulge my sense of the absurd. These heros and heroines are offbeat, upbeat, irreverent, hilarious, and a lot of fun to draw. Since I also love research, I delight in taking on nonfiction subjects and handling them with fantasy. Color is the basis of my art, while writing and drawing help to describe my colorful visions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhatever the subject, I want my readers to stretch their imaginations, to see with their minds' eyes what happens between one picture and the next.
