Inspiring!

I bought this book because i was looking for inspiration for some illustrations for a children's book I am working on, and it worked! I've never bought or seen any of ME's other books, but this one is fabulous! I love reading about her home studio and her experiences trying to make a living off her illustrations. The characters she has created are fantastic! I recommend this to anyone who needs inspiration or who wants to have a lovely book to leave on the coffee table for people to flip through, it's colourful and sweet!

This book is unbeliveable in every way.......

Hi i just got this book last night as one of my graduation gifts from one of my many Aunts, she thought i would like it caues im planning on attending art school and she thought that this book would encourg me, and it has, even though i just got this book last night. I flip through the pages and i was so amazed at the drawings Mis.Engelbreit has created, she can take her own imagintion and child like expirence and make it come to life on paper.In this book It tells about her life and how she got started, It says that she started out drawing when she was 11 or younger and i belive it caues there is just to much passion in her work for it not to come from starting out in childhood. And her drawing are just mamerizing, I think every drawing she has ever made is in this one book. i mean you can look at this book for hours on end, i stayed up for hours last night just looking at the drawings alone. I think one of the reasons her art sells is becaues out of all the drawing that she has created someone can pick one and relate to it in one way or the other. This is the first book i own from her but it wont be the last. If you are looking for a sentamentle gift or just want a this wonderful book for yourself or LOVE Mary Engelbret's work and want to know about her and know how she got started then buy this book! It's worth every penny!!

A book to pick up again and again

This book was the first one of Mary's that I purchased and it made me want to have more of her wonderful volumes. When you are not feeling too great, this will cheer you up ... it has the ability to transport you back to your childhood and to happier, gentler times. The artwork is so beautiful and almost edible!

An enlightening book about an enlightening artist

This is a wonderful book about an artist who seems to catch everyone's thoughts and lives on paper. Her drawings are whimsical and yet, so meaningful. It is a book that most of us can relate to. Everyone can find at least one picture that sums up their mood or the moment.
