Neither storybook nor autobiography, Something to Put Something On is rather a "questioning book" for children, at once moving and intriguing in its candor: I WAS A CHILD & AS MOST CHILDREN I DID MAKE THINGS I TRIED TO FIND A PLACE TO PUT THE THINGS I HAD MADE AGAIN & AGAIN I FOUND THAT THE SUPPORT OR PLINTH OR TABLE ALL RESTED UPON THE EARTH & I REALIZED THAT ALL PEOPLE OF ALL AGES WHO HAD MADE SOMETHING HAD TO FIND A PLACE TO PUT WHAT THEY HAD MADE THOSE PEOPLE WHO ASK THE QUESTION & THOSE PEOPLE WHO TRY TO ANSWER THE QUESTION ARE FUNCTIONING AS ARTISTS. I WAS A CHILD & DECIDED TO BE AN ARTIST. Something to Put Something On poses direct questions about art-making to and for young readers. Generously endowed with its maker's legendary wit, it is also, appropriately, the first title in the Little Steidl program.
