COUNTRY ANIMALS
by Lucy Cousins & illustrated by Lucy Cousins
From the talented illustrator of The Little Dog Laughed (1990), an attractive series of six-inch square board books; in addition to Country Animals, there are Farm, Pet, and Garden Animals, each portrayed in a bold, ultra simple childlike style that perfectly captures the creatures' essence. Roughly lettered names add a taste of written language. Outstanding use of form and color, especially suited to its intended audience. (Picture book. 0-4)
