«Os Adultos Vistos Pelas Crianças» is an illustrated children's book by William Steig, published by Editorial Presença in paperback (48 pages, in Portuguese).
With humorous drawings and brief comments, William Steig portrays the quirks, contradictions and small hypocrisies of adults as seen through children's logic. The work alternates irony and tenderness to show the gap between what grown-ups say and what children perceive, and can be read as an invitation for parents to look at themselves without solemnity.
The original English work, «Grown-Ups Get to Do All the Driving», was published in 1995; this Portuguese edition is from 1996.
Suitable for children and adults; works as a mirror of parents' everyday contradictions and as shared reading.
William Steig was an American cartoonist, illustrator, and children's book author best known for his picture book Shrek!, which inspired the film series of the same name. Steig was a prolific contributor of both cartoons and cover illustrations for The New Yorker magazine, and he developed a style of less humorous line drawings that became common on greeting cards as well as in his several published collections.
