| What
do One Hundred and One Dalmatians, The Sword in the Stone, Pinocchio, Dumbo,
Jungle Book, and Peter Pan have in common? Yes, they all are Disney
movies, but they have something else in common. They were illustrated,
and some were also written, by a man named Bill Peet. Bill turned
an interest in drawing, which often got him into trouble when he was in
school, into his career. Did you know that Bill Peet created the
Captain Hook’s character to be like Walt Disney himself? You'll find
out a lot of interesting inside facts about Disney Productions as you read
this book. You also will learn how he came up with ideas for his
books. Bill Peet tells in words and pictures his fascinating life
story. Bill left Disney in 1964 to write and illustrate over 30 children's
books. (Lorie Green. Library Media Specialist, Manor Hill Elementary, Liberty,
