IPPY Awards 2014: Popular Culture, Gold Medal
“Animation expert and historian Jerry Beck takes everyone’s favorite sponge as seriously as possible, and that’s what makes The SpongeBob SquarePants Experience such a great book. Sure, there are fun things for the kids in there, but it’s the history and storytelling about the making of one of this generation’s great cartoons that makes it a must-buy.”—Parade.com
