Bill Peet Has A Website!

For those of you that have never heard of Bill Peet he started out at Disney and then became a very successful children's book author and illustrator. My introduction to him was in art school, when one of my instructors recommended his autobiography, which he wrote in children's book form. It is a fantastic book, a short read, and I think a must for anyone who loves the field.
  I just found out that he also has a website. I'm not sure how long it has been up, but I just stumbled on it so I thought I might share it. It is loaded with great information including pages on story writing and even some caricatures of other Disney greats:
