Bruce Degen (Magic School Bus)

If a picture can speak a thousand words, Bruce Degen's illustrations can spark a thousand smiles. From sixth-grade, this illustrator of the wildly popular "Magic School Bus" series knew that art would be a big part of his life. In this exclusive video interview with Reading Rockets, Degen talks about his early artistic roots, the inspirational value of fruit, and what it's like to collaborate with author Joanna Cole.

Bruce Degan, one of the most influenced illustrators of all time. This guy has illustrated my favorite child hood books, and this guy made me see, what I enjoyed and learned as a child.
