Paul Thurlby's Wildlife
This artistic view of 24 animals gives unique facts about each: “Bees talk to one another by dancing in patterns” is paired with bees disco dancing under a honey hive. The digital illustrations incorporate elements of printmaking, painting, and collage with bold geometric shapes and humorous details. A mole has a shovel for his body, a near-sighted rabbit has ears that look like glasses, and a goldfish sunbathes for fun. This clever companion to Paul Thurlby’s Alphabet (2011) is distinguished by strong design elements and playful text. Ages 4-6
