(4) PS Illustrated by Anne Mortimer. A feathery owl and a soft furry cat go to sea in this rendering of Lear's poem. The illustrations are tactile and full of details, from seals, cormorants, and sea horses in the ocean to curling ferns, insects, and orchids on land. Attractive as they are, however, the pictures lack the whimsy one would expect to accompany this nonsense verse.
