Jose Aruego Has Passed On
August 14, 2012
Celebrated author/illustrator Jose Aruego has passed on at 80-years-old. Some of Aruego's most popular titles include Whose Mouse Are You?, Leo the Late Bloomer and Gregory the Terrible Eater.
"[Aruego] enchanted a generation of young readers, and critics as well. Working with his wife and long-time collaborator Ariane Dewey, he created a world of joyful animals so full of life that one reviewer termed his style 'illustrative mime.' His characters were spare of line, while still being wonderfully expressive and vivacious."
