Peter Scott's (a.k.a PatrickGeorge) skills of illustration and design are largely concept-driven, clean, punchy and witty. He enjoys working on his own children's books (A Drove of Bullocks, A Filth of Starlings, Little Miss Muffet and Other Rhymes, and Opposites published by PatrickGeorge), but his style works equally well in a corporate and media context. PatrickGeorge's previous clients include Toyota, GQ, Royal Mail, Houses of Parliament, Kent tourism and The Times. He has also produced a book of names which is a playful typographical treatment of 100 boys and 100 girls names (What's in a Name?) - Places of residence
- London, Middlesex, England, UK
- Associated Place (for map)
- England, UK

This book serves as a center of discussion with children about animal conservation and protection. In wordless spreads, we see an animal in an unnatural situation: as a rug, in the circus, mounted on the wall, etc. Turn the transparent page and the animal is portrayed in its natural setting: the ocean, the forest, frolicking with its fellow animals. When I first looked through it, I saw the book as an indictment of the way humans have treated animals. But it can also be a message of hope, show more that we can do the opposite. It ends sweetly, with an abandoned dog adopted. show less
I enjoyed this book for several reasons. The first reason I liked the book was for it's illustrations. Vibrant colors and minimalistic drawings are used to convey to the reader all the different things you can smell with your nose. The book also utilizes an optical illusion toward the end. I also enjoyed the writing style. It's simple enough that this book could be used as a great tool for reading instruction, but descriptive enough that much can be learned about the sense of smell. The show more message of this book is to inform the reader about the sense of smell. show less
A delightfully witty, funny and intelligent book! It is there to be enjoyed by both kids and adults. I immediately must go find the other books by this author.
