Billy the Bunny is painting a picture. He knows just how he wants it to look, but each of his friends has a different idea—and they all want to help. Penny the Puppy, Greta the Goose, and a parade of other animals add to the mix, and soon Billy's picture is nothing like what he imagined.
Is it a puppygoose? A porcuphant? What will Billy do?
From the creators of Curious George, Spotty, and Pretzel, this story about art and individuality is back in print after many years. It will be welcomed by any small child ready to giggle.

      Originally published in 1948, Billy's Picture by H.A. and Margret Rey, illus. by H.A. Rey, centers on an artistically inclined bunny who tries to draw a self-portrait. Billy's animal friends add their own features quills, wings, a trunk to his drawing, resulting in a cuddly chimera. Rey's priceless retro illustrations contrast Billy's growing dismay with his friends' excitement at contributing to the drawing. ( Aug.) .

      Billy the Bunny, trying to draw a self-portrait, is "helped" by a parade of animal friends who all try to improve his picture by adding their own features. The resulting creature looks like nothing at all: a puppygoose? a porcuphant? Billy has a little meltdown, and all ends happily with the entire crew of animals setting up easels and drawing pictures of themselves.
