Good choices. I love "Action Jackson," and think Parker did a terrific job of conveying the uniqueness of Pollock through his (Parker's) own energetic and fluid lines. And Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jackson tell a great story. There is one gutter problem in my copy, but I still think the book is quite impressive. Ditto for "What Charlie Heard"-- art and text are so unified, and it's a poignant story, well-told.
Isn't it interesting how many strong picture book biographies there are this year (and recently) and how few memorable original stories?
