Today is the day that Pierre Probst, a French picture book author famous for his Caroline series, passed away. When I was a child, I used to buy a subscription to Shogakukan's "The World's Fairy Tales," which included this series of books, and I read them over and over again.

本日はカロリーヌシリーズで有名なフランスの絵本作家ピエール・プロブストが亡くなった日です。 小さい時定期購入していた小学館の「世界の童話」の中にこのシリーズが含まれており何度も読み返したものです。

A Colorfully Exotic Feathursday

This week we bring you some exotics from our children’s book The World of Animals by Mary Holmes, with illustrations by the noted French illustrator and cartoonist Pierre Probst, published just down the road from us in Racine, Wisconsin by the Whitman Publishing Company in 1963, and printed by another noted Racine institution, Western Printing and Lithographing Company. Pierre Probst is perhaps most well-known for his series of children’s books featuring the independent, blonde, pig-tailed character Caroline. The World of Animals is part of Whitman’s educational series Whitman World Library.   

It’s curious that they would include the cardinal and hummingbird among exotic birds, as they are among the most common birds both here in Milwaukee and in Racine. The canary and parakeet (budgerigar) may have been considered exotic at one time, but they are now the most common of household birds. Still, they are all very colorful!
