Biografía breve: [excerpted from author's website]
John Steven Gurney has illustrated over 140 chapter books and has illustrated board games, advertising, posters, puzzles, and a shopping bag for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. John has worked as a caricature artist from Atlantic City to Las Vegas, and on the streets of New York City, but primarily in New England.

John grew up in Pennsylvania reading Dr. Seuss books and watching Bugs Bunny cartoons. As he grew older his reading material shifted to Mad Magazine, and then to J.R.R. Tolkien (but he never stopped watched Bugs Bunny cartoons). He studied illustration at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, and received his MFA in Illustration from the Hartford Art School. He teaches illustration and design at Kutztown University in Kutztown, PA.

John loves visiting schools to talk about illustration. Since 2002 he has visited schools in 31 different states, and five countries. John lives in Brattleboro, Vermont with his wife Kathie. He has used more than 40 people from his town to pose as characters for his books. He loves running and cycling, except when there's too much snow, in which case he cross country skis and plays racquetball.

Dinosaur Train por John Steven Gurney

Whoa. My two favorite things in one book! (Or so say the eyes of kids you show this to.)

The Bossy Pirate por John Steven Gurney

The imagination exhibited and the lesson learned in this story is commendable, but overall, it's lackluster. It's not going to win any awards for creativity or mind-blowing concepts. It's a cute book with a basic premise and written well enough, but it's headed for the bargain bin.

Dinosaur Train por John Steven Gurney

"Jesse is a young boy who loves nothing more than to play with dinosaurs and trains. One day, he is getting ready for bed when a train full of dinosaurs stops at his house to pick him up. When the train accidentally falls over, Jesse uses his skills of playing to help lead the group and solve the conflict. It a cute story to show that dreams can really come to life. The illustrations are filled with solid colors, and emphasis is put on the characters and objects rather than the background. The dinosaurs are comedic since they are given human characteristics such as clothing, glasses, nail polish, and mustaches. The dinosaurs are also specific to types that are known such as a T-Rex and triceratops. While some are eating salad on the train, others are eating hamburgers which would be a great connection to herbivores and carnivores. This is a great picture book to include as a fictional story with some references to scientific fact." -- Becky Martin, GoodReads… (más)
