ReFoReMo Day 10: Josh Funk Digs Loosely Plotted Concept Books

3/11/2015

122 Comments

 
You are in for a double feature today, ReFoReMoers!   After reading and commenting on Josh's post today, travel over to Carrie On... Together and visit  Mystery Author/Illustrator Salina Yoon! 

by
Josh Funk

All five of these books are creative in concept. None were illustrated by the author. And all of these books are what I call 'Loosely Plotted Concept Books' with cleverly kooky ideas. None of them have grand character arcs or follow the rule of three, but they aren't quite concept books either. Some might describe them as 'one note' at times, but that hasn't stopped them from being Best-Sellers and/or leading to sequels.

Rebecca, I think my point is that these *aren't* concept books - they may *seem* like concept books, but they all do have a narrative structure, along with characters, arcs, etc. - Maybe I should have called them 'concepty' traditional books?

Reply
Cathy Ballou Mealey link
3/10/2015 01:55:56 am

Great selections Josh. Am I wrong, or are none of these titles the author's debut book? Wondering if concept books are easier to sell when the author has a pre-established track record.

Reply
Josh link
3/10/2015 02:19:13 am

Shark vs Train was definitely Barton's debut. There's a great article about how it came to be here: http://bluerosegirls.blogspot.com/2010/05/beyond-book-shark-vs-train-by-chris.html

Other than a book in 2003, Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten was Vernick's next book in 2010.

Power Down, Little Robot is Staniszewski's first Picture Book (although she's already published half a dozen middle grades).

Dragons Love Tacos was Rubin's 3rd book.

Only Samantha Berger had a long career leading up to Crankenstein, really.

I appreciate you sharing books that have separate author and illustrator. I feel like I see so many publishers and agents looking only for author-illustrators, and I understand why. But even as an illustrator who enjoys writing, the idea of needing to do both amazingly well to break into the industry can be intimidating, so I
am enjoying reading both types of books for ReFoReMo!

It seems so often the PBs I choose as mentor texts are illustrated by the author. If a writer is fortunate to have talent in the illustration field as well, they can fully control both sides and paint/write a complete story. But for those of us whose talent lies on only one side, these books you suggest will make great mentor texts. Many thanks!

None of these are concept books in the strict sense, so I doubt the authors ever referred to them that way.

Reading for Research is even better watching reactions of readers. Shark vs. Train and Dragons Love Tacos have been huge hits with my 3 and 4-year-olds.Unprompted, they have asked to get Shark vs. Train again, weeks after returning it to the library. Young readers don't sit in front of books with checklists of rules for picture books. Wacky "rule-breakers" are a joy.

I can't help but think that if I sent a ms of, for example, Shark and Train, to an agent or editor they would reject it. "Not strong enough to compete in this competitive market" they would say. Sometimes it helps to be an established author or have that one lucky break of someone who is willing to take the chance.
