In the Shade of the Baobab



As soon as I have found these great scans from the 1965 German book "Im Schatten de Baobab" 
on the very interesting Russian livejournal thread kidpix they have become an instant favorite. 
I love the illustrations by Eberhart Binder! I have to admit that possibly I like his trees 
even more than the animals... Many thanks to u_boot_man for uploading these beauties.
