Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present, Maurice Sendak


Today's vintage children's book has lovely illustrations by the great Maurice Sendak. The illustrations are done in such a way that the characters feel gentle, soft, thoughtful... same with the color pallette; it feels cool, lush, tranquil.

  1. I love how the rabbit sits. He has long legs and must be a hare! Funny! I'm so happy to have found your blog. I'm going to have a little hop around!
