Check out my (very red & angry) new tattoo!
It‘s a memorial tribute to Moxie (my pet house rabbit), taken from Brian Wildsmith‘s picture book “The Princess and the Moon.”
My artist (who just happens to be a descendent of Owen Chase, first mate onboard the Essex — the shipwreck that inspired Moby Dick! 🐋) used a process called “bloodlining” to get the color bleed right. Pretty bad-ass, tbh.
She said I sat like a champ. 🏆
Thanks to @TheBookHippie and #ChildrensClassicRead2025 for reminding me that I had this sweet (tagged) book waiting on my shelves. And, as others have mentioned, the illustrations are gorgeous!
I always pick up these New York Review Children‘s Collection editions when I spot them in used bookshops.
Great read about inventions that are inspired by nature and features Sesame Street muppets

I enjoyed this sweet little story of Mary and her mouse house but mostly I enjoyed the illustrations, they felt very nostalgic for my childhood reading days.
Anyone else participating in one of the Hands Off rallies tomorrow?
