zebra. The present painting blends a stylized painting technique with
clarity and fun factor to appeal to its young audience. It was done for
Little Golden Books, which were known for hiring great artists who fled
Europe during World War II, thereby establishing a high aesthetic
standard. Little Golden Books revolutionized the children's book market.

grocery stores, drug stores, train and bus stations, and
newsstands.Unsigned, Board size 8 x 6.38, unframed. Published 1962,
