Playing Dress Up

Playing Dress Up, 8x10


Of all the costume pieces Daisy has in her dress up box the bunny ears are her absolute favourite. When she wears them she feels very tall and grown up. For some reason she also always developes a desperate craving for carrots.

Sitting in the Grass Considering a New Haircut

Sitting in the Grass, 8x10


Barry sat in the grass considering his new haircut. He thought perhaps that the barber had taken too much off the top. His girlfriend commiserated but secretly didn't think he looked any different.

At The Gallery

At The Gallery, 8x10


In the afternoon Oliver went to the Art Gallery where he spent much of his time in the Contemporary Canadian section. He enjoyed it very much and wondered if perhaps he was meant to become a sculptor after viewing a piece featuring a rusty bike wheel that looked very much like a pile of junk he'd created in his backyard.

Snowball the Rabbit stops to admire his lovely pink orchid. It recently took first prize in the County Fair's Amateur Orchid Growers division. At times the competition was fierce, he was even nipped by fellow competitor Mr.Rat.

Charlie and the Giant Cupcake

Charlie and the Giant Cupcake, 8x10

After hours spent cleaning his room, Charlie decides to celebrate his efforts with a giant, messy cupcake. He left sticky icing and chocolate crumbs smeared all over the kitchen. It seemed to take Charlie's Mother hours to clean up after his celebratory mess.

Here Comes the Army

Frog, 8x10


I just found out today that a group of frogs is called an army. An army!! I can't for the life of me understand why. Perhaps their khaki green colouring? An army of frogs marching towards me just doesn't seem that intimidating, no matter how big the army. This is the best animal fact I've heard in a long time!
