I was recently introduced to the illustrations of Richard Scarry by my friend Madeleine. (You should check out her Lowly Worm cake.) Last week I ordered the book I Am A Bunny from the awesome We Heart Books website. It arrived a couple of days ago, and with it there was a gorgeous little present for BB – some paper bunting made from vintage Golden Books. (Thanks Lou!)

A very apt gift I think, as you can see from the last picture. (Which believe it or not, was not staged at all).

PS. Those overalls are taking a break and are now in the wash. It's sad, I know.

I Am A Bunny is one of my favorite books from when I was little! My mom still has it in a little basket by our rocking chair.

Kristi - the overalls were a hand-me-down gift from a friend. I think she found them in an Op Shop. xx

My son loves Hurray for Huckle by Richard Scarry and Busy town.
Busy town is on ABC for kids at 6am Sat and Sunday.

ha! Richard Scarry is a BIG fave of iris's, i like him too and i absolutely love little golden books. my friend's son only wanted to read one particular RS book over and over again, it went on for weeks, it drove her a little loopy! so there is a flipside to the genius of Mister Scarry.

and wowee! look at your girl! amazing! CUTE!

when I was a kid I loved Richard Scary. When I find his books at the thrift store I always pick them up for my kiddlets. Love the bunting, anything with rick rack and vintage kids illustrations is alright by me.
