Artist Frida Clements' illustrated puns playfully combine beautiful, colourfully detailed flora and fauna drawings with funny hand-lettered word play. Honey, bee yourself! Gopher it. Don't be koi. Like puns That's coo, says the pigeon. Hate puns Birch, please. Bringing a giggle (and sometimes a groan) with each inspired page, this clever collection is a lovely and lighthearted gift for fans of witty humour and illustration.

Frida Clements is an illustrator and graphic designer whose silkscreened posters have become synonymous with the vibrant music scene of the Pacific Northwest. Her nature-inspired palette complements her distinctive Scandinavian aesthetic, in which flora and fauna are frequent subjects. She completed her first fully illustrated book, The Wandering Goose by Heather Earnhardt, in September of 2013.
After a frustrating day in early 2014 Frida sketched a whale. After a bit of thought she added 'OH WHALE' to the bottom of the image, and laughed herself silly. Have a Little Punwas born, as was a pun addict.
