A second book written and illustrated by T. Benjamin Faucett, published in New York by  A. L. Burt Company, January 1924. This one sadly displaying its age in racism and other unacceptable ideas (my apologies) but I did want to blog all four for their amazing illustrations.

Hazel Terry (folktale week)

I had no intension of 'doing' Folktale week this year, I had tried for a couple of years but never got into the groove or I had hit peek employment and didn't have the time in daylight hours, 

November is dark here in Scotland, (Today it is pitch black now as I write at 7.30). This time though, with no announcement or really thought, I just started. I used my 'awful paint', gummy, translucent kids paints that are really bad, . . . but oh so good to and just remembered to have fun!

Felix Hoffmann II

A Boy Went Out to Gather Pears, by Felix Hoffmann published in 1966 by Oxford University Press. This was the first book I found by Felix Hoffmann and I was drawn to its long skinny format and the simplicity of the almost icon 'emoji' illustrations, creating a cumulative rhyme.
