An enormous, 100+ page book of drawings of people. Bachelors and babies. Friends and foes. Biologists and astronomers. All kinds of people. Here together in the same enormous book. Happily together in the same enormous book.

This book is just a collection of simple illustrations of different professions and characters ("teacher", "warrior", "homeless man") done in the 1960s-schoolbook style. There's no reason this should be entertaining, but it is in fact charming and addictive. The interpretations are just interesting

enough to poke your imagination, but not so quirky they lose their dictionary quality. Pairings on opposing pages are often quite clever, and sometimes touching. A surprisingly rich and likeable book. Show Less
