Answer
The author of children’s literature, Edward Lear, used illustrations in his work to help convey his stories and add humor. Lear’s illustrations were often simple and cartoonish, but they helped to make his stories more engaging and entertaining for young readers. For example, in the book “The Owl and the Pussycat,” Lear used illustrations to show the owl and the pussycat sailing off into the sunset in a pea-green boat.
