When I first discovered these illustrations, I immediately wanted to know who made these. It was in fact Richard Scarry who you may know made my childhood.
I remember having loads of Dr. Seuss and Bright and Early Books and the one I had was The Early Bird. I loved how different it looked than the other books I collected.
Last month I bought "I Am A Bunny" and it was just beautiful. I saved a few images online of the illustrations. These are truly gorgeous.
This book was published in 1963. This is my favorite era of Scarry. In my opinion, his later decades were timeless and fun, but I do feel more drawn to his earlier work.
There's more space and personality like adding a background and more natural environments.
I love Nicholas's personality. I sense him as being down-to-earth, living in the moment, enjoying nature.
I have over a ton of books like this. I have a whole collection of Little Golden Books (mostly the Disney ones) and vintage 60s books I bought at Goodwill. I'll definitely be showing you some cool and cute illustrations sooner or later.
