"Ours: A Roaring Adventure Through the Animal Kingdom. " Tout ce beau monde growls, growls, jappe, screams, roars, barks, hennit - a symphony of animal sounds fills the pages of "Les animaux en train de plaisir, " an enchanting children's book illustrated by G. H. Thompson in 1885. In one illustration, mischief unfolds as M. Latrompe accidentally crushes the tail of M. Lion who lets out a mighty shout that startles even the proud peacock nearby. Meanwhile, Monsieur Hippo finds his underpants to be quite unsuitable for an aphid. The comical scene captured in this Selva Collection artwork is sure to bring laughter and joy to young readers. But amidst all the fun and games, Madame Hippo murmurs with a heavy heart. Her tender expression depicted in another illustration tugs at our emotions and reminds us that even animals can feel pain too. The adventure takes an unexpected turn when the crocodile raises anchor too late. Their miserable look tells a tale of missed opportunities and regrets beautifully portrayed on these vintage pages. And there sits M. Hippo in the mud – what a sight. His disheveled appearance showcased through Thompson's artistry adds another layer of humor to this delightful storybook journey. As we peek through the window pane in yet another captivating drawing from "Les animaux en train de plaisir, " we witness animals pushing and crashing into each other playfully. It's chaos but filled with innocent joy. Suddenly, a scream pierces through - "Earth. Earth. " cries out the watchman. This dramatic moment captured by G. H. Thompson leaves us wondering what could have caused such alarm among these animated creatures? Before bidding farewell to their whimsical escapades within these pages, all the animals gather together dressed anew for their grand finale. Each character shines brightly as they prepare for new adventures, leaving us with a sense of anticipation and wonder.
