(3) K-3 Illustrated by Hilary Knight. Knight imagines Lear's nonsense verse about the romance between a seafaring Owl and Pussy-cat as an elaborately staged story that the theatrically inclined Professor Comfort involves his company in. As the Professor reads the verses, his young guests, an owlish boy and a kittenish girl, transform into the fowl and feline of the verse. Detailed watercolor and pencil pictures exude charm and energy.
