The book is a collection of stories about bizarre animal behaviors. I hoped to match the lively and engaging style of the narrative in the design. A challenge with this project was finding the best way to weave the many charming illustrations into the author’s text. I was glad to have a fine typesetter composing these pages.

Another stellar example in the category of maximum effect with a minimum of means. With black text only and small line illustrations, the designers had to do everything right here—primarily the details of the page typography—to make the book stand out, and they did. The cover, with its almost rubber-stamp aesthetic, is playful and engaging (ditto the book’s title), and the whole project is a winning, almost winsome, package that more books of this type should aspire to.
