What it's about
The picture book other picture books learned from. Johnny Crow makes a garden, and one by one the animals arrive — the lion with a green and yellow tie on, the bear with nothing to wear, the elephant dancing a jig — each rhyme landing exactly where a small listener wants it to. Brooke's line is as warm and exact as anything drawn for children before or since.
