Copycat

More about the book

Helen Borten's Copycat, originally published in 1962, returns to print for the first time in decades to delight a new generation of children. Beautiful, warm and vivid, Helen Borten's picture books inspired a generation of children during the 1960s and '70s. Copycat sees Borten return to narrative work following the success of Do You See What I See? and Do You Hear What I Hear? republished in 2016 by Flying Eye Books, and The Jungle republished in 2018 by Enchanted Lion Books. In Copycat, Borten displays her distinctive illustration style, using layered prints and etchings to inspire a real sense of the wonders of life on a farm. These expressionistic images are perfectly complimented by clear and lyrical prose to tell a story of what it means to be comfortable in your own skin. Happy Books Press have painstakingly restored the original Pantone spot colours to produce a beautiful new edition that is as true to the original as possible.
