If We Ran the Zoo: Animals in Children's Book Illustration
<p>If We Ran the Zoo: Animals in Children’s Book Illustration</p><p><em>October 6, 2018 – January 13, 2019</em></p><p>Stories about animals have always been a staple of children’s literature. One of the earliest known books aimed at children, the 17th century publication Orbis sensualium pictus, taught children the alphabet by mimicking animal noises. This trope continued in the early- and mid-20th century, called the Golden Age of children’s book illustration. Drawn from the Zerzanek Collection of Original Art from Children's Literature on loan to the CRMA from the Cedar Rapids Public Library, If We Ran the Zoo looks at the various ways animals have shaped children’s literature, from simple science books to loyal pets to fantastical, talking companions.</p><p>Image caption:</p><p>Audrey Chalmers, untitled drawing from <em>Birthday of Obash</em>, page 6, undated, charcoal on paper, 8 ½ x 9 11/16 inches, on loan from the Zerzanek Collection of the Cedar Rapids Public Library, L2009.0217.</p> 2018-12-14 16:00:00 -0600

But time is running out and if he doesn’t learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity. This “tale as old as time” is filled with spectacular costumes and the wonderful songs written by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, and Tim Rice and is family theatre at its best!
