Children`s IllustratorsChildren are attracted to different books for many different reasons but you can bet that nine times out of ten it was the illustrations that first got the attention of the child. A well illustrated book will entice a child to look through the book well before the pages and pages of text do. One of my favourite
Children`s Illustratorsand authors is Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr Seuss. His unique and extraordinary illustrations fascinated me as a child and I used to love looking at the pictures in his books just as much as I did reading some of his classic stories. I must confess I probably read The Cat in the Hat hundreds of times as child and I found the illustrations in that particular absolutely fascinating. As
Children`s Illustratorsgo, Dr Seuss was certainly ahead of time. When his books were first published people had never seen illustrations of that kind before and that is probably still true to this day. His unique styles make all of his books instantly recognisable and they are a pleasure to behold. Other
Children`s Illustratorswho I enjoy are Quentin Blake, Mary GrandPre and William Joyce.
