Knutson combines bold lines and delicate scratches to create full-color animal illustrations that are both engaging and pleasing to the eye.
The illustrations are both lovely and stark. The inventive ways in which Guinea Fowl, who you wouldn't expect to be a match for Lion, is still able to get the better of him. The Lion who is more foolish than fierce.
As thanks, Cow gives Guinea Fowl the gift of camouflage (those lovely spots, which as Guinea Fowl delightedly points out "are just the thing for hiding in the shadows and grass"). Twice Guinea Fowl rescues Cow from Lion with more bravery than caution. Cow and Guinea Fowl are two friends with a common enemy, Lion. The story, which is based on a Swahili folk tale, is a simple one. How the Guinea Fowl Got Her Spots was an excellent and encouraging first pick for this new strategy. After an unfortunate fairy tale incident, we decided to give folk tales a try.
