CED: Books - The City Mouse


My husband purchased this book "Come Follow Me" Poems for the very young. He was going to sell it on Amazon before I got my hands on it. I thought it had some good prompts to draw. One of my favorites as a little girl was The City and Country Mouse. So her are some attempts, that need a lot of tweaking.

CED: Books- Art cover love

I love books and I challenge myself every year to try to read more books. This year my goal is 80 books. I like to include a variety of books including children's books. My husband said, "that is not a book."  "I told him that it is because you do have to read it." Although all my children are grown-up I still like the children's area. I usually pick books because of the art work, then the story. I picked up Maddy Kettle just for that reason. I love the art work. I usually check out the bio of the illustrator. Eric Orchard is from Canada and I found it interesting that he talks about his depression. I copied a small portion of his book cover featuring Maddy.
