Publishers Weekly Holiday Gift Guide 2025 (Illustrated & Art Books): "Follow the offbeat, affectionate Belcher family—originally two rather than three kids and, per Bouchard “we also thought maybe the family would be cannibals...[!]”—from early concept art through 15 seasons of set pieces, sight gags, and fantasy sequences, plus the 2022 movie. The animated sitcom, which also spawned a bestselling cookbook featuring real recipes for the show’s jokey burgers-of-the-day, was just renewed for four more seasons."

"Bouchard loves books and wanted a physical object fans could hold in their hand in addition to watching their favorite characters on screen. Bouchard also teased what fans might learn by picking up the book, "Even if you're a big fan, you might not know about the comic books, or you might not have seen some of these one-offs that we did for posters.'" — Loren Bouchard to ABC TV/On The Red Carpet

"Plus, “The Art of Bob’s Burgers” book is finally set to be released on Sept. 23, giving much-deserved recognition to the incredible artistry behind the series, with never-before-seen images and insight from Bouchard, art director Phil Hayes and the animation team. “This is a very important book to us,” Bouchard recently said. “We love the artists’ work on the show, we love the drawings that have gone on, all the millions of miles of pencil lead on paper, and we wanted to celebrate. — Loren Bouchard to Variety

“'The Art of Bob’s Burgers” (Rizzoli, 256 pages, $50) is for the coffee table in the best sense. It’s meant to be picked up, perused and admired. Without a doubt geared toward the lovers of Loren Bouchard and Bernard Derriman’s long-running Fox series, the book should also draw appreciation from anyone fascinated by the art of animation. We see the development of the characters, from initial sketches to full realizations, but also learn about the various artists and writers and the work that went into bringing the show to life—from Jay Howell’s conceptual renderings of the characters to Sirron Norris’s elegant, detailed backgrounds and Dave Creek’s character work (“funny and quirky rather than . . . attractive or sexy”). Then there’s Phil Hayes’s efforts as the art director and background specialist. “Phil was in sync from day one,” writes Mr. Bouchard. “He not only had a lovely line that wiggled ever so slightly, right where you would want it to, but he also had architecture in his veins.” Sumptuous in every way—color, paper stock, design—“The Art of Bob’s Burgers” is a triumph." — The Wall Street Journal.
