W. R. Scott

W. R. Scott was a children's literature publisher based in New York City that specialized in visually striking books with a contemporary educational philosophy.

"[2] In keeping with the Bank Street philosophy,"[2] W. R. Scott's initial list included art books for the very young, poetry, essays, and reissues.

Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck neglected to respond, but Brown's hero Gertrude Stein[2] accepted the offer.

"[4] (Brown and Hurd later teamed on the children's book classics The Runaway Bunny and Goodnight Moon, though they were released by a different publisher.)

[1] Most of W. R. Scott's titles went out of print, though some were re-issued by HarperCollins and Shoe String Press's imprint Linnet.
