Carrie Shryock is an illustrator and author working in publishing, stationery, and surface design.
Do You Like My Pants? is her author-illustrator debut. Carrie grew up on a farm in central Missouri, where she spent her childhood picking bouquets of wildflowers, watching thunderstorms roll across the prairie, and making so many drawings. When she’s not making art, she’s reading a book, going on long walks, and dreaming about building a cabin in the woods.
"This intermittently rhyming offering is in good company with its forebear: Dr. Seuss’s
The Sneetches, another cautionary kid-pleaser in which a superficial attribute leads one party to feel unjustifiably superior to another. Shryock, in her first outing as author/illustrator, largely sticks with a très chic green, peach, blue, and black palette to capture the hilarious strutting braggadocio of the book’s absurdly long-legged and flexible cast of bipedal animals . . . A caveat emptor story with yuks and sartorial swagger."
