The Owl and the Pussycat - Couverture rigide

“Galdone uses his imagination to extend Lear’s ideas, creating a memorable version suitable for the youngest.”— Kirkus Reviews

“Detailed without being cluttered, the illustrations are inventive without stretching the text too far in this perfectly satisfying variation on an old favorite.”—Publishers Weekly

“There are plenty of clever, humorous details in Galdone’s bright watercolor illustrations.”—School Library Journal

The Owl and the Pussycat of Lear's ballad are truly made for each other, as depicted by James Marshall in these poignant, slaphappy illustrations. Only Marshall could have shown us the Owl serenading the pampered Pussycat on the deck of the S.S. Dorabella, or the Pussycat posing for travel photographs, or the happy couple's goofy wedding dance "by the light of the moon."

Here is a final gift from this greatly beloved creator of children's books.
