Biographical History
Richard Scarry was born June 5, 1919, in Boston, Mass, and died April 30, 1994, in Gstaad, Switzerland. He was a highly successful illustrator and author of children's books. His works have been translated into 28 languages, and have sold over one hundred million copies. His work can be characterized as humerous, full of activity, and adept at combining instruction and entertainment. Some critics have accused his work of violence and sexism; he responds that the 'violence' is of the old 'custard pie in the face' type, and that he avoids sexism by using animals as characters instead of people, explaining that children can easily identify with animals, while it can be more difficult for them to identify with people of clearly defined race, sex, age, etc. Biographical Sources: Something About the Author, vols. 2, 35, 75, 90 Children's Literature Review, vol. 41.
