expressive and loaded with glorious color - a perfect formula for a children's picture book. I just bought this book, The Lazy Bear, at Goodwill. A small corner of the book is cut off for some reason, but I bought it anyway as I didn't have it and couldn't pass it up. The Lazy Bear must have been written by Wildsmith too, as I don't see any other credits in the book.

I just read about this one on the jacket of "Python's Party". It looks and sounds like a wonderful book. I haven't seen a Brian Wildsmith that I didn't like yet.
ReplyDeleteI agree, never seen a Brian Wildsmith book that I haven't liked either.
