In a 'Still Life' painting nothing moves but, wait! Was that a dragon?
Briefly

In Alex London's Still Life, the traditional concept of still life art is humorously disrupted as whimsical characters engage in delightful chaos, defying artistic norms.
Author Alex London illustrates the whimsicality of his narrative process, attributing it to sleepless nights and vivid hallucinations, igniting the creative spark for Still Life.
Illustrator Paul O. Zelinsky emphasizes the importance of humor, recalling his initial concerns about translating the text’s humor through illustrations, which ultimately proved successful and entertaining.
Both London and Zelinsky express their joy in reading Still Life to children, noting how young listeners transition from seriousness to laughter as the story unfolds.
