Dylan gets credit for writing this, but really it's just the lyrics to a song he wrote in 1979 that have been realized in drawings by Jim Arnosky. Arnosky's imagined animals are much wilder than the simple cow, bull, sheep, pig, snake, and bear that I imagined. Also, Arnosky includes an additional 165 or so animals that you can look for. There's a sort of checklist in the back in case you need to know what you're looking for. Nice illustrations. Kind of bland poetry if there's no melody.

It's probably something like a sin for me to say I don't really care for the words too much (I mean, I love Dylan but I just don't get this) but the illustrations are absolutely beautiful. I could stare at this all day. Gorgeous.
