Uno’s Garden by Graeme Base (Combined)

“The cover of the book makes you think of a guy with an extremely good garden.”“The design of the creatures is extremely abstract and adorable, where as the man-made structures/objects are made to be ugly.”“The pictures seem to have been drawn using pencil/pen and paintbrush.”“The pictures are designed to make nature seem (even more) beautiful and amazing while still being fascinating and interesting; Introducing new creatures to you on every page”“It makes you feel weird”“Because its blue and feels off-world”
