🔗 The Yale Review | Chris Ware on Richard Scarry and the Art of Children’s Literature

Regarding Ole Risom and Richard Scarry’s I am a Bunny:

I never read it as a child, but I can now attest to its elegant, quiet beauty, because it was my daughter’s first word book ever, and I read it to her several hundred times. I never tired of its pictures or its words, the simple zen-like magic it evokes of the inevitability of the passing seasons always somehow putting the reader in a pleasant passenger-seat view.

I adore this book and have always loved reading it with my kids.
