Books like Raz-Ma-Taz

Worth reading for the bunny chain illustration alone, which is absolutely ADORABLE and still gets me. This is sort of an earlier version of Sniffles, although with a happier ending, since the bunnies and goats do pay attention to Raz-Ma-Taz when it counts. The moral of the story is essentially: stop being a showoff. Which is a reasonably good lesson for kids that may or may not entirely apply to adulthood. (If only some meeting-dominating men could learn this instead of so many women taking "better to be seen and not heard" to heart.)Lovely illustrations, which I think is the part that always sways me with these books. Let's be real: while the stories can be quite nice, these books never would've had their popularity without James's beautiful, long-eyelashed illustrations.
