Just for Kids
~ This page has been created especially for children… our next generation of cartoonists ~
Syd’s career began to take flight even before he even started school. With chalk in hand, he left his mark on sidewalks in the Bronx, NY. Once launched as a cartoonist and children’s author, he spent many years traveling to schools and classrooms across the country entertaining children through stories and drawings. He taught children how they could spread their artistic wings and learn how to cartoon using numbers and letters.

Here are some examples of Syd’s creativity. Now it’s your turn! Take out a clean piece of paper and see how a simple letter or number can become a person, animal or whatever you imagine. You can even add more characters and write a short story to go along with your drawings.
Stravon Educational Press – 1983
HarperCollins Publishers has been entertaining, educating, and inspiring generations of readers for more than 200 years. Syd’s long running relationship with HC began with his 1958 classic children’s story, Danny & the Dinosaur about a boy and his best friend, a dinosaur.
We thank Harper Kids for their ongoing support over the years in keeping this classic alive and offering children Danny and the Dinosaur ‘fill in the blank’ activities.
