Parade of Stories - "Yonie Wondernose"

Parade of Stories, 1954, Standard Education Society, Inc. Illustrations shows here from the story "Yonie Wondernose", illustrated by Joe Pearson. (Check out more by him here and here.)

Ok, so, these aren't the flashiest illustrations in the world, and they're only two-color, but I just love how Joe Pearson uses shapes, and I think the way he draws hands is freaking charming. They just make me smile.

Cat-shape! How I love you!

I've never admired a buggy so much in my life.

Oh, mid-century logs! How I adore you!
