Illustrated by
Anne Wilson.
In this version of Lear's classic poem, the sprightly Owl and Pussycat begin their journey on a beach with a row of multicolored houses on stilts. Their destination--"the land where the Bong-tree grows"--has an equally playful array of abstract trees. With their pleasing colors and compositions, Wilson's whimsical paper collages complement the poem's nonsense.
