Interview: Paul O. Zelinsky

I was delighted to have a chance to talk to illustrator Paul O. Zelinsky, who was given the Caldecott award highest honor for children’s book illustration for his work on Rapunzel. Paul talked with me about working with animators to convert his book The Wheels on the Bus into a movie, with a musical score by Kevin Bacon and his group, The Bacon Brothers. And he described his own experience making a short animated version of his recent book, The Shivers in the Fridge.
