The Mouse and the Motorcyle

"Louis Darling, who did the illustrations for Cleary's first two books, was friends with Roger Tory Peterson, the famous American naturalist. Peterson suggested to Rachel Carson that the Darlings illustrate her forthcoming book, Silent Spring. They did, and their illustrations appeared on the title page of the first edition and on chapter headings of all subsequent editions. Darling died of cancer in 1970 and Cleary dedicated Runaway Ralph to him."
