W. R. Scott W. R. Scott was a pioneering children's literature publisher based in New York City that specialized in visually striking books with a contemporary educational philosophy . W. R. Scott's first editor was Margaret Wise Brown ; the company also published a number of her books.History The company was founded in 1938 by William Rufus Scott, who was assisted by his wife Ethel McCullough Scott, and her brother, John C. McCullough. With small children of their own, the Scotts had connections to the Bureau of Educational Experiments , which was promoting a new approach to children's education and literature, emphasizing the real world and the "here and now." In keeping with the Bank Street philosophy," W. R. Scott's initial list included art books for the very young, poetry, essays, and reissues. The Scotts' link to Bank Street led them to Margaret Wise Brown, who worked at the Bank Street Experimental School and had just published her first children's book . Brown was hired as the company's first editor, and one of her first projects was to recruit contemporary authors to write children's books for the company. Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck neglected to respond, but Brown's hero Gertrude Stein accepted the offer. Stein's book The World is Round , was illustrated by Clement Hurd , who had previously teamed with Brown on W. R. Scott's Bumble Bugs and Elephants , considered "perhaps the first modern board book for babies." In addition to publishing a number of her own books, under Brown's editorship W. R. Scott published Edith Thacher Hurd's first book, Hurry Hurry , and Esphyr Slobodkina's classic Caps for Sale . In the 1960s most of the publisher's titles were released under the Young Scott Books imprint. W. R. Scott was acquired by Addison-Wesley c. 1972. 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.Selected titles Margaret Wise Brown Bumble Bugs and Elephants: a Big and Little Book , illus.
