The Independence Public Library's Interesting Nuggets of Exploration: "Anthropomorphic"

The word of the day is "Anthropomorphic" in honor of Richard Scarry's Birthday. The author, best known for his "Busy World" books would have been 95 yesterday. Below are two of Richard Scarry's books, featuring anthropomorphic characters.
  Both are available at the IPL.
If you haven't already guessed, an anthropomorphic character is a non-human character with human characteristics. A talking cat or and a worm that wears clothes and a shoe, are both examples of anthropomorphic characters. Characters like this are common in children's books, but can also be found in books for all ages. Click the word of the day above or search "anthropomorphic" in the catalog to find other great books.

What are your favorite anthropomorphic books?
