Check Hilary Knight's The Owl and the Pussy-Cat (reissue c. 2001) out of your local library and be enchanted. The illustrations are the most stunning interpretation of Edward Lear's classic poem that the Mister and I have ever come across. Not only were we spellbound, the children were too! Who says that adults can't be hypnotized by childrens' books? Each page transports the reader into another world. Perhaps one of Knight's greatest masterpieces because he fills each spread in The Owl and the Pussy-Cat with quirky, magical images to feast your imagination upon.
