Her precise stylised illustrations of plants have the feel of gentle nineteenth century botanical prints ... a joy to read and share with older readers who can appreciate its finer points.'<br />- Armadillo</p> <p>'[A]n entertaining story that shows the habits of the animal kingdom.'<br />- Creative Steps</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Sibylle von Olfers' (1881-1916) blend of natural observation and use of simple design has led to comparisons with Kate Greenaway and Elsa Beskow.
