Ed Emberley is a Caldecott award-winning children s book illustrator and writer who has been creating original books since the 1960s. He has written and illustrated more than 100 books, including his beloved how-to-draw books for kids. These simple and straightforward books, originally published in the 1970s and 1980s, have encouraged a generation of kids to take the drawing process step by step. Contemporary working artists today often cite Ed Emberley as a beloved early inspiration in their development as artists. By encouraging kids to draw using just a few simple shapes, Emberley has made drawing and creating accessible to everyone.
These three new products celebrate the wonderful, whimsical, and humorous world of Ed Emberley. Released together with AMMO s new ED EMBERLEY monograph by Todd Oldham and Caleb Neelon, The Memory Game, The Domineos/Matching Game, and the Alphabet Blocks all highlight illustrations from Emberley s wide repertoire of books. These are a great companion to Emberley s classic how-todraw books and AMMO s rereleased selection of vintage Emberley storybooks.
