Close-up color paintings of striped animals--such as zebras and tigers--by an acclaimed natural history illustrator are complemented by an informative text in this sturdy, read-aloud work.
Kenneth Norman Lilly won a scholarship to study animal painting and anatomy at art college.
He contributed wildlife paintings to a variety of magazines such as 'Look and Learn' and 'Treasure'.
In addition he wrote, and illustrated, a number of natural history books himself such as 'Some Birds and Mammals of the Woodland', 'Some Birds and Mammals of the Field and Hedgerow' and 'Some Mammals of the Riverbank' - all of those three for The Medici Society.
I had a little collection of these tiny books. I always liked them but honestly kids were never drawn to them that much and they're hard to store alongside other books. I'd need a whole tiny book collection. I got rid of them.
