Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, April 5 1958.
The Post described, “Do you mind if each character on the cover isn't discussed individually this time? Artist Gustaf Tenggren, evoking the magic of artistic license, has taken some details from the Brookfield children’s zoo, Chicago, and some of the famous wild-critter collection in Philadelphia, thus enabling those youngsters to go to two zoos at the same time. Example: the chimpanzee village, lower right, is in Chicago, but Miss Chimp is cranking her hand organ in Philly. And if that little girl, center, got lost over on Philadelphia's Noah’s Ark, she must be really confused by now because the place they have parked her is in the other zoo. In real life a moat encircles that bear pit, but in the better world of an artist’s fancy, bears and children get along fine together.”
(The Saturday Evening Post, April 5 1958, p. 3)
