This weekend while strolling around my local bookstore, I happened to come across “Hippo! No, Rhino“ (See cover above), a new book by Jeff Newman. I wasn’t familiar with Jeff, so after I got home, I did some internet sleuthing and eventually was able to locate Jeff’s website and blog. Personally, I really enjoy Jeff’s more graphic illustration work… which is probably why I was so drawn to his book in the bookstore.

    It’s hip to be a hippo. Just looking at that illustration, it’s amazing how little lines you need to express yourself. I too saw that book at Chapters and must say it does draw you like a bear to honey. There is a wealth of illustrators in the kids’ book section, with it too are a bunch of books that make you wonder what made them want to publish stuff like that. Good call Jared, love the selection and I found out also about Plogs. You learn something new each day at Drawn.
