(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Stéphane Jorisch. In a sophisticated visual interpretation of Lear's classic poem, an owl and a pussycat flee to a land where their romance is cause for celebration rather than separation. Inspired by varied sources including Lear himself and the Beatles' Yellow Submarine, the artist's mixed-media illustrations stay true to the text's playful spirit even as they lend provocative multivalence to them.
