What is this style of drawing/painting?

What is the name of the style of painting/drawing evident in the work of artists such as Corinne Malvern (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/154/337453760_a4c618c2a4.jpg?v=0) and early Richard Scarry (http://drawn.ca/wordpress/wp-content/images/howdy.jpg)?? A contemporary reference is the artwork for the band Eels, note: it's particularly birds i'm interested in (http://saladdaysmusic.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/uselesstrinkets_cover.jpg)



Any help much appreciated.

Only one of your connections is working but that dosn't really matter because most people know Richard Scary. These are 'illustrators' rather than painters and there is not really a name for such a style per se. Malvern did do some "Painting" but it is not very highly regarded and I think rightly so. Here children's book illustration is typical of the 30s and 40s inexpensive books for children. This illustration style would widely be regarded as a lower point in children's book which really improved in the 60s. This is not to say that all of her work is bad but the sweet (rather sappy) nature of her images was soon considered passe and too corny for children's book illustration. Scary on the other hand had some false starts but then his cartoon animal style of the 60s and seventies was very influential in the flat, graphic color style that many children's books took on.What is this style of drawing/painting?
I only saw the first, because the others are inaccessible.

I call this the "children's style" or the "no style at all".What is this style of drawing/painting?
Linear illustration. It's cute.
