Dick has illustrated sixty books for children and has contributed single illustrations, or small groups of illustrations, to many additional books. Fairy tales have frequently been his subject matter, though he has also had substantial experience recreating the licensed characters of Disney, Dr. Seuss, the Muppets, Sesame Street, and others. He has recently illustrated half a dozen books on biographical subjects from Descartes to Babe Ruth, for RandomHouse`s "Step Into Reading" series. He finds energetic, lighthearted, and flamboyant projects a lot of fun.
