Random rabbits and hap'd upon hares

A few illustrations I've been meaning to share, some since May.


I love the Emily Gravett Bear/Hare books.





A moonhare! My own crib had a bunny decoration on it.



This was interesting. I thought "Is that a bear with a coffee?"



No, that's a bear "in the woods." Who puts chamber pots in kids books? :D



Anita Jeram offering. Clever :o)



Highlights pre-school magazine illustration- I've forgotten by whom. I saw this in my dentist's waiting room: beats reading GQ and People.



I think these were on the end flaps of a Sam Williams' book but at the moment I cannot be sure. The more I look at these the less they look like his cuties...



Seen today. I've mentioned before my dislike for that creepy little elf!

And finally, a web photo from an image search for "make it stop" this bunny was going to accompany a rant against all my Twitter and Facebook friends who just cannot stop posting their indignation over the president elect becoming the president elect. I decided to trash that post.

Adorable, especially that little bull.

Ah, you should've gone ahead with it. That bunny's too cute.

I loved this cover: https://guideimg.alibaba.com/images/shop/2015/08/15/22/highlights-high-five-magazine-celebrating-early-childhood-august-2014_7728822.jpeg

This was a cute style the illustrator chose.

Well, the rant was just venting on my part. I have a few 'friends' whose posts are primarily articles and quotes about how awful things were/are/will be, and frankly it gets tiresome day after day after day. I understand they feel hurt, I'm not pleased either, but let's move forward. And with the recount BS coming things will just get worse.

Yeah, that's cute. And a VW Bus, heh. :)

I'm not pleased either, but let's move forward.

Aye. I'm hardly a fan of most of Trump's political positions, but what good is throwing a wobbly over it now? He got elected, he'll serve his term. Life will go on, people will on, and eventually there will be a new president.

There are things in life that really matter: taking good care of your kids, being there for your family, that sort of thing. Who the president is largely does not, even if you are from the USA.

Cute!
LOL yeah a... and who even remembers a chamber pot? Is that a current book? maybe they are just into authentic time research...

I honestly thought it was a coffee mug the first time I flipped through the book... and then it dawned on me what the bear was holding! And the book is new this year :D

I wonder if Chamber Pot Bear uses Charmin like the ads say bears do.

And I think Elf-on-the-shelf Bunny must have a lot of cat in him/her.

If he doesn't he'll be leaving bits behind...


And that rabbit certainly looks like a cat making that move!

Loved Highlights! Goofus and Gallant, and the hidden shapes puzzles were my favorites. And wasn't there a bear family serial comic in that, too? So glad little kids today can still enjoy something even their grandparents did as children, in almost the exact same format and style.

I have so many good memories about Highlights! And the first copy I recall was at this dentist's office... in 1962 (I've gone here since I was seven, and though my original dentist retired the building remains practically the same in appearance since then). We subscribed to Highlights for all my children when they were growing up :o)

Delightful images, thanks for sharing!

I think I followed Regarding The Secret Life Of Rabbits-comic for a while, but it has disappeared from my newsfeed - ah, it could have been that the artist shared newest comic to House Rabbit Society-group and when I stopped following that also some stuff I followed via the group disappeared... The artist has quite a diversity of styles beside the simple comic style, though the site seems to be slightly difficult to navigate: https://www.behance.net/ragingbunnies

I love these illustrations found in children's books. Bunnies (and bears) are such timeless classics.

Ah, nice site, thanks! I found the image so randomly that I can't recall what led me to it. It was on a tumbler feed, I think, and appeared in google image searching.
