56 Party Guests
In Much Too Much Birthday, Maud Invites 56 guests to her birthday party. As you have probably figured out already 56 guests was much too much. I wanted to make every guest a different type of animal and I wanted to make sure if someone counted they would find all 56 (a decisions I was seriously reconsidering part way through illustrating this spread).
I decided to stick to mammals in Maud's world because bird wings are difficult to anthropomorphize into hands and fish have their own problems. There was no particular reason for the animals I chose. Some I picked because I like the way the look like tree kangaroos and bush babies. And some I picked because I liked the sound of their name, like numbats and wombats.
Some people might say wait a minute! In real life, a hippo, a horse, and a rabbit are NOT all the same size. That is true. But they also don't wear clothes and play hit the pinata.
