	mrsmustard said: At last, Edward Lear's fabulous love poem, THE DUCK AND THE KANGAROO, comes to life in a book of it's own! “My life is a bore in this nasty pond, and I long to go out in the world beyond. I wish I could hop like you,” said the Duck to the Kangaroo. In this book, Jane Wattenberg has woven Edward Lear's very own paintings of animals (find a turtle, squirrel, parrot, toucan and owl), as well as bits of paintings from other naturalist artists 1550-1850, into the pages of her lush, evocative photo-collage illustrations. This is an emotive and loving interspecies friendship and romance. tags: I illustrated, Inspired me, I recommend
