Who can resist a mole in overalls, a duck in a bonnet, or a dapper dog in a letter sweater? Jolly Animals celebrates the whimsical world of Keith Ward, a master of giving animals big personalities! From classic kids’ books like Fun with Dick and Jane and Reynard the Fox, to the iconic face of Borden Dairy’s Elsie the Cow and Texaco’s spotted dalmatians, Ward’s charming critters made their mark on everything from bedtime stories to billboards. A sweet and silly children’s book filled with bold and colorful illustrations!
