Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist dad, Jules, is well-known for his social commentary, but also writes and illustrates books for young readers. So does his daughter, Kate Feiffer.

No doubt about it, Bruce Degen likes to combine humor with his art, an appealing combination for kids of all ages. In this exclusive video interview with Reading Rockets, the illustrator of the wildly popular Magic School Bus books talks about his early experiences as an artist and his current projects.
