TOON Takes Brooklyn!

Here's a peek into what went down at this year's Brooklyn Book Festival...

Checking out McCloskey's latest book...
​Ants Don't Wear Pants​!

Ivan Brunetti signs copies of his guide to cartooning for kids, Comics: Easy as ABC​!

Ivan ran a workshop at Brooklyn Children's Day, teaching kids the tips and tricks of cartooning. "My problem is always how to get started," he said. He recommends filling a page with dots and connecting them in a sort of intentional doodling that can open the mind and ease performance anxiety.

A young fan holds up an ANTS shadow puppet!

Illustration students from Pratt talk to Kevin McCloskey and Ivan Brunetti about designing children's books.

Nadja Spiegelman joins us to sign copies of Lost in NYC
