    Hello Elizabeth:
    These really do capture those dreadful [only in our view, we are sure] children's parties to which children are sent dressed up to the 'nines' by over enthusiastic, too adoring parents and where rivalry becomes the order of the day. Take the poor duckling here. How can she possibly compete with the fanciful piglet?!

    'I've got longer legs than you!' (add intonation)
    'I don't care, I've got a ribbon bow. So.'

    Do I detect a bit of rivalry between piggy and birdie? I hope they will not come to blows.

    “Do we really have tooo?”

    Mind you, piglet there, looks as if he’s finally gotten in way over his head, and just wishes tigger would crash into the picture and save him from his awkward dilemma there.

    Miss Tweety Pie, looks like such a right little snotty.

    I like the cat at the end on the right - when I would dress my cats, they would look like that!

    Hello Elizabeth,

    I love this illustration. You've captured the little animal's bodies so beautifully and the consternation they are feeling about their dresses are very evident on their faces! Perfect!

    I think, for a number of reasons, the kitten is my fave.

    Okay...cute doesn't even *begin* to cover it! When are you going to start your own children's clothing line...this would be a great way to advertise all of your adorable little garments!
    Unbelievably sweet!
