What an irresistible combination: a menagerie of Gyo Fujikawa's most irresistible animals with their human companions! Mrs. Cat and her kitten family parade with a little girl, fuzzy puppies hug and snuggle, a gentle fawn comes by to say hello and an elephant gives a small boy a ride while carrying another child on her trunk. This title features a charming final picture that shows several children with some small furry and feathery friends.

Gyo Fujikawa (1908-1999) made a career in the advertising world and also enjoyed a lengthy stint at the Walt Disney Studios where she designed the large book version of Fantasia. In 1957, she illustrated her first picture book, A Child's Garden of Verses. Many others followed, some of which she also wrote. Babies, published in 1963, stands as a landmark: it was the first children's book to depict infants of all races and nations sharing growing experiences. Fujikawa's books have been translated into 17 languages and are read in more than 22 countries.
