Doodle, Scribble and Squiggle with Taro Gomi

I was lucky enough to be in the Chronicle Books offices in San Francisco a couple weeks ago, when who should stop in but one of my favourite illustrators, Taro Gomi!

He was really lovely - and much admired by the crowd; he received a standing ovation from everyone in the room.

Here's a short video of Taro Gomi's visit, taken by a Chronicle staffer.

Taro Gomi is the creator of a ton of really fun - and funny! - colouring and activity books: Doodles, Scribbles, Squiggles, Doodle All Year. These books are perfect for kids of all ages - and I've also given some copies away as presents to adults, who have enjoyed them just as much (if not more!).

He's also the author of some great picture books, including Bus Stops, Spring is Here, My Friends - which includes a drawing of a karate-chopping gorilla that makes me laugh every time.

Taro Gomi's new book coming out in March 2010 is called Doodle 123!

You can download a few sample colouring pages from Scribbles and Doodles from the Chronicle website.
