He was the U.S. nominee for both of the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Awards, as a children's book illustrator in 1982 and a writer in 1988. Bad Spelling isn't funny - it's hilarious! With the same comic genius that delighted readers of C D B!, William Steig fills the pages of The Bad Speller with antic drawings and inspired misspellings. Mr. Steig does not condone bad spelling. On the contrary, he is strongly on the side of good spelling! The Bad Speller is just for fun. And fun it is for all of us - good and bad spellers alike.“My dad is a terrible, terrible speller and absolutely adores the late New Yorker cartoonist William Steig, so when I stumbled upon this out-of-print book I couldn’t believe it. The delightful little tome is filled with Stieg’s signature wonderful drawings accompanied by kooky captions like ‘to geace doolin’ and ‘ellefance sleapkwaukn.’” —Alexis Swerdloff, Strategist editor New York Times
