Written by Ole Risom and illustrated by Richard Scarry before his Busytown years, I Am a Bunny is considered one of the most beautiful picture books Scarry ever illustrated — lush, seasonal, and unusually quiet in tone for an artist known for busy scenes. This Golden Sturdy Book edition has thicker-than-usual pages and a tall, narrow format unlike most Golden Books.
A meaningful find for the Richard Scarry collector or anyone who loves genuinely beautiful old picture books.
Ole Risom served as vice president and art director of Golden Books at Western Publishing from 1952 to 1972, working closely with his friend Richard Scarry over decades at both Western and later Random House. I Am a Bunny was one of the rare titles Risom wrote himself, pairing his own words with Scarry's art at a moment when Scarry was still years away from the dense, character-packed Busytown style that would later define his career.
