In the second of this wonderful series, Johnny, literature's most hospitable crow, further improves his garden and invites the other animals round for a party. Old favourites are here, such as the Lion, the Bear and the never-mentioned penguins; but new animals are introduced too, such as a French-speaking cockatoo, a sleepy sheep and a kangaroo who likes blue roses. This colour version has been carefully restored to keep as close to the original as possible, faithfully reproducing the detailed pen and ink drawings and the rich colour illustrations.
