I've always thought, since reading <em>The Bobbsey Twins</em> series as a boy, that children's book illustrators always seem to depict the most unlikely scenes. There's a wild chase on one page, a character showing genuine emotion on this one, or someone falling off a cliff on another... and without fail they always draw everyone standing around the kitchen or the postman delivering the mail, instead. Thank you for posting these! The cover alone is remarkable. At last, the long-promised pictures of “Books and Pictures”!
