Lori Miller High Tech Learning, 11/22/09 Chris Van allsburg “Ideas for stories are all around. But those ideas are just starting points. The kind of story a writer ends up telling is not the result of the little idea that starts the writer thinking. The kind of story a writer ends up telling is the result of the kind of person that the writer is.” Lori Miller High Tech Learning, 11/22/09

Type of Work Genre Van Allsburg writes and illustrates picture books for children. Subject Matter He is known for writing fantasy stories that have elements of mystery and magic.

Books by Chris Van Allsburg The Garden of Abdul Gasazi, 1979 Awards: Caldecott Honor Medal Sometimes that very thin line be- tween illusion and reality is not as clearly defined as we would like it to be. It clearly wasn't the day that Alan Mitz stumbled into the garden of Abdul Gasazi. For in this bizarre and eerie place - where strange topiary trees loomed - the evil visage of Gasazi casts its shadow. http://www.chrisvanallsburg.com/abdulgasazi.html

Awards: Caldecott Medal Jumanji, 1981 Awards: Caldecott Medal The game under the tree looked like a hundred others Peter and Judy had at home. But they were bored and restless and, looking for something interesting to do, thought they'd give Jumanji a try. Little did they know when they unfolded its ordinary-looking playing board that they were about to be plunged into the most exciting and bizarre adventure of their lives. http://www.chrisvanallsburg.com/jumanji.html

Awards: Caldecott Medal The Polar Express, 1985 Awards: Caldecott Medal Late one Christmas Eve after the town has gone to sleep, the boy boards the mysterious train that waits for him: the Polar Express bound for the North Pole. In strange and moving shades of full color art, Chris Van Allsburg creates an otherworldly classic of the Christmas season. http://www.chrisvanallsburg.com/polarexpress.html

Zathura, 2002 On the last page of the Caldecott Medal-winning book Jumanji, young Danny Budwing is seen running home with a game tucked under his arm. Now, after twenty years, Chris Van Allsburg is ready to reveal what happens when Danny and his brother roll the dice. This time the name of the game is Zathura and Walter and Danny Budwing are in for the ride of their lives. http://www.chrisvanallsburg.com/zathura.html (Example 4)

Probuditi, 2006 “Inside were tickets to the matinee show of Lomax the magnificent, the world-famous magician and hypnotist.” Calvin is so excited after seeing Lomax the magician that he is anxious to try some of his own magic when he gets home. http://www.chrisvanallsburg.com/probuditi.html (Example 5)
