In the mid-1950s, legendary avant-garde composer John Cage and artist Lois Long created a truly marvelous object. Part artist's book, part cookbook, and part children's book, Mud Book is a spirited, if not satirical, take on almost every child's first attempt at cooking and making. Through the humble mud pie-add dirt and water!-Cage and Long encourage children to explore their imagination and to get their hands dirty, and they offer this warning: "Mud pies are to make and look at, not to eat." A unique hybrid of art book, unconventional cookbook, and inspiration for young makers, this new edition of Mud Book will delight children and parents alike, and makes a charming gift for all ages.
John Cage (1912-92) was a pioneering American composer, music theorist, artist, and writer. Also a mycologist-a mushroom expert-Cage knew a thing or two about dirt. Lois Long (1918-2005) was a textile designer and artist.
