I enjoy the detail in these illustrations and I appreciate that it was for children to enjoy. To me, it is important that we recognize that even children can appreciate fine art. As adults we should not dumb down education to children, but rather expose them to all things good even if it appears to be over their heads. All people learn at their own rate.

i agree,
no dumbing down.
their minds are like little sponges.
isn't it great?!
those are interesting drawings. I guess they're drawings right? Sometimes we kinda take the illustations in a childs book for granted. I like those.
I'm with you and Sheila. Kids are born brilliant. We can either support that or get in the way.
