Oh yeah! I said on my twitter that Id dive into my little rabbit hole from last night over here!
So hopefully you saw my doodle of the Queen dog from earlier, and a good bit of you probably picked up on the fact that its a adorable little character from the unnamed bedtime book in Bluey, Unicourse (S3E8)
What you might NOT have known is that the book is almost definitly inspired by a REAL childrens book by the name of "The Purrfect Carpet" written by David Passes and illustrated by Norman Johnson
The stories arnt exactly 1:1 of course. Aside from the species difference, the plots veer off from each other, but the spoiler at the end remains the same~
David Passes didnt do much else in the realm of childrens books it seems, going on to have a dragon book he wrote be much more prominent when you search him up.
Norman Johnson however... I have no idea! They have a name so.... normal.... that theres tons of talented people out there that share it! If you have any info on the illustrator, please share it with me!
Attatched are a couple illustrations from the book, it really captures that fairy tale meets the soft chalkings of blend together fable books (a la more modern winnie the pooh, for example)
A very very cozy work, but no unicorns in this one either~
....also uh, lemme know if you like me rambling like this ;w; its kinda fun just to blog again....
