Milestone Monday

On this day April 10 in 1903, noted American author and illustrator of cats Clare Turlay Newberry (1903-1970) was born in Enterprise, Oregon. She spent the majority of her career illustrating cats, especially for many of her own award-winning children’s books, including four Caldecott Honor books. To commemorate Newberry’s birthday we present illustrations from two of her award-winning books, T-Bone the Babysitter, a 1951 Caldecott Honor book published in New York by Harper & Brothers in 1950 (the first 6 images), and April’s Kittens, a 1941 Caldecott Honor book, also published by Harper & Brothers in 1940 (last 5 images). Our copy of April’s Kittens was published in Eau Claire, Wisconsin by E. M. Hale and Company in 1940 by special arrangement with Harper & Brothers.

Six cat faces! Which one do you like? It’s fun to draw these cat faces and I hope you like them.

The magical world of Wachifield わちふぃーるど was designed by Akiko Ikeda in 1987. (Although the leather goods company called Wachifield that makes its products was born in 1976, the same year as another cat mascot.) 

Wachifield is home to Dayan the cat, and his friends, Rabbit Marcy, Crocodile Ivan, Cat Zidane, and Mouse Willie. Dayan was a normal cat until he came to Wachifield with snow magic. 

Bonus picture: The Wachifield store I saw in Tokyo. I think this one was in Shinjuku, but the first store I saw was in Yanaka Ginza, also known as Tokyo’s Cat Town. The Wachifield stores are called Labyrinths.
