Artistic career

Jane Wattenberg is the author and photo collage creator of the best-selling accordion-style baby board books, Mrs. Mustard's Baby Faces and Mrs. Mustard's Beastly Babies (Chronicle Books). She is also the author and photo illustrator of the award winning re-told tale, Henny-Penny (Scholastic Press) and the retelling of the classic Aesop fable The Boy Who Cried Wolf, which she wove into Never Cry Woof! (Scholastic Press), wherein dogs guard the sheep instead of a boy.

Her most recent photo-illustrated book is The Duck and the Kangaroo, written by Edward Lear (1812-1888). It is the first stand-alone version of this endearing poem, which Lear wrote in the same time period as The Owl and the Pussycat.

Wattenberg is influenced by photo collage artist Hannah Höch, painter René Magritte, photographer Herbert Bayer and the 19th Century collage photographer Henry Peach Robinson as well as by animal photographers Ylla (Camilla Koffler) and Harry Whittier Frees. Tana Hoban has been another inspiration in the field of children's books as are Vladimir Radunsky and Maira Kalman.

At a young age, Wattenberg began photographing with a Brownie camera. Double exposed images from Brownie camera days influenced her future work. Her first published art photo was selected for publication in Rolling Stone in 1972 by Annie Leibovitz, who was photo editor at that time. She has illustrated book jackets for Judy Blume (Places I Never Meant to Be), Ellen Wittlinger (Razzle), Virginia Euwer Wolfe (Make Lemonade), Rachel Cohn (Gingerbread) and Joan Bauer (Thwonk) among others and album covers for Herbie Hancock (Mr Hands), Daniel Lenz, and The Aqua Velvets.

Before making books, Wattenberg's early photo collage work appeared in the Electric Company, Bananas and Dynamite magazines, the latter two edited in the 1970s by R.L. Stine (Goosebumps).
