Do Lions live on lily pads?
by Melanie Walsh
Oh, something simple for my sleep-deprived brain, please. Up all night with sick baby. No longer coherent. Bleah.
Found this book in the pile. Short! Small! Bright watercolors for sore eyes. Yes. I loved it from the garish stripes on the endpapers through the silly text and simple, flat figures.
Is this the nest of a goat? Do crocodiles live in shells? Do parakeets live in bowls?
All the questions you ever wanted answered about animals. Okay, probably not, but funny stuff if you're little and don't really know these things.
Welsh's art covers every millimeter of paper, and right now I'm staring at a full bleed of orange-red that would look smashing in a lipstick. Love those great washes of primary colors too.
Now I'm going back to bed.
