Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
Originally published in 1948, Billy's Picture by H.A. and Margret Rey, illus. by H.A. Rey, centers on an artistically inclined bunny who tries to draw a self-portrait. Billy's animal friends add their own features quills, wings, a trunk to his drawing, resulting in a cuddly chimera. Rey's priceless retro illustrations contrast Billy's growing dismay with his friends' excitement at contributing to the drawing. ( Aug.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

Review by Horn Book Review
Billy the Bunny, trying to draw a self-portrait, is ""helped"" by a parade of animal friends who all try to improve his picture by adding their own features. The resulting creature looks like nothing at all: a puppygoose? a porcuphant? Billy has a little meltdown, and all ends happily with the entire crew of animals setting up easels and drawing pictures of themselves. (c) Copyright 2010.
