I love illustrations by Maurice Sendak. Besides the fabulous Where the Wild Things are I love Pierre and Chicken Soup with Rice.
yey ! books !
My favourite illustrator is hands down Gabrielle Vincent. If you get a chance, check out her french books called Ernest et Célestine.Not to jump on a bandwagon, but I also love Maurice Sendak. His illustrations don’t just make my heart sing, but they stick to me and improve my days!
So many good ones! We love Graeme Base, Jan Brett, and I always loved Steven Kellog and the simplicity of Shel Silverstein.
I always look forward to your book recommendations! I’ve never heard of the first book. Looks like I need to add it to my expanding list. I’ve got the Old McDonald One saved from the last time you mentioned it. I tend to be drawn to felt illustrations. Our current favs are How Big is a Pig and Wheels on the Bus. I also like the colors in all of the Lois Ehlert books. However, my daughter was just given 4 of the Fisher Price Little People flap books. She looks at those constantly pointing out every little detail.
Yay for more book recommendations! We’ve really enjoyed illustrations by Nancy Tillman and Elena Kucharik.
i love sophie blackall!
Chris Van Allsburg is my favorite children’s illustrator. Especially the book The Mysteries of Harris Burdick. I could lose my self in those illustrations for long, long periods of time!
Lily’s book collection is growing all the time and my current favorite illustrator is Eric Carle. Lily and I love how colorful each page is.
I really like the book Olivia which is written and illustrated by Ian Falconer.
My daughter has a book called “I’m Not” that I love. It’s illustrated by Pam Smallcomb.
My favorite illustrator? Maurice Sendak.
Ok so Im not sure what the names are who illustrat these books are, and I dont have time to look them up right now but I knew if I didnt enter for this awesome giveaway righ tnow for my almost 12 month old that I’d never get back around to do it until it was to late—so may favorites are the person who illustrated-Beransteins Bears, Little critters and of course Eric Carl and there are SOO many more.

Ooooh I am so glad that you asked this question because I am 100% in love with Oliver Jeffers’ illustrations. I think we have all of his books now, but my favourite is “Stuck” which just came out in America yesterday, I think. Love that story, I bought one for my best friend’s son and even considered asking you if I could send a copy for Charlotte because it is AWESOME that you are always giving away books and I thought you guys might like it. But then I thought that might be weird, but if you want a copy let me know!
