Richard Scarry (born May 2021, age 73) is an American author and illustrator who writes and draws pictures for children's books, while his books are largely populated by animal species such as dogs, cats, raccoons, bears, owls, goats, foxes, wolves, rabbits, lions, tigers, hippos, pigs, mice, elephants, crocodiles, beavers, walruses, and more. His work became popular in the 1960s, and led to a cartoon show on Showtime (TV channel) and Nickelodeon.
