Illustrated by
H. A. Rey.
Billy the Bunny, trying to draw a self-portrait, is "helped" by a parade of animal friends who all try to improve his picture by adding their own features. The resulting creature looks like nothing at all: a puppygoose? a porcuphant? Billy has a little meltdown, and all ends happily with the entire crew of animals setting up easels and drawing pictures of themselves.

Illustrated by
H. A. Rey.
Originally created in 1937, this recently discovered manuscript has been published for the first time. Like the beloved Curious George, Whiteblack has a propensity to get into trouble--but never for long. With a thirst for adventure and an easygoing nature, he travels the world in search of stories. The illustrations are rendered in Rey's trademark opaque watercolors outlined in heavy black charcoal.
