Korte biografie: Lisl Weil was born in Vienna, Austria where she began to draw at a very young age. By the time she was sixteen, Weil's drawings were being published regularly in a Viennese newspaper. At the same time, she was attending art school. She also performed for a time with a dance group. After spending a year in Holland, she moved to New York in 1939. She soon met her future husband, Julius Marx, who guided her towards children's literature. From the 1950s through the 1990s, she estimated that she illustrated more than a hundred children's books--over half of them for stories that she wrote herself.

In addition to illustrating books, Weil also performed with several major symphony orchestras. As the orchestra played, she drew the story

The Candy Egg Bunny door Lisl Weil

This book is about Sally and Walter. Sally believes in the Candy Egg Bunny, but Walter does not. Walter then see the Bunny who tells him how Easter bunnies came to be. I had mixed feelings about this book after reading it. I liked the book because the plot was suspenseful. The organization of each page kept the reader wondering what would happen next. For instance, one page reads, "'A long time ago, on top of a hill...'" The reader flips the page and it reads, "...there lived the evil witch Gundula." Splitting the sentence between pages added to the readers curiosity of what was going to happen next. I did not like the book because the illustrations did not enhance the story. The pictures were all black and white with yellow accents. I think that adding more colorful illustrations would have helped grab the readers attention and better fit the imaginative mood. The big idea is sometimes all you have to do is believe.… (meer)

Foolish King: Based on Hans Christian Ander… door Lisl Weil

Summary: This book is a retelling of a classic tale of a vain king who is fooled by two clever seamstresses. They tell the King and all of his advisors and friends that they will make a beautiful new outfit for the king out of fabric that only very intelligent people can see. No body can see the suit because it is not really there, however no one is willing to admit that they cannot see the suit. This results in the King strolling though the kingdom naked and it is not until a small child points is out that they realized the seamstresses fooled everyone. There is no suit.

Review:
I didn't particularly care for this book. The story is classic. There is nothing knew about this particular retelling, no text features, not The illustrations were nice. There were a few depicting the kind in diffrent clothing from around the world, which would be nice to discuss with children, but other than that the book had little to make it memorable.… (meer)
