If Leonie should happen to read this post she may remember my showing her a Livejournal community blog called 'Storybookland' about illustrated children's books. That blog can be found here http://community.livejournal.com/storybookland and it's a wonderful resource for anyone who's interested in illustrated books. It's linked to an array of other useful blogs and websites and is full of beautiful illustrations, many of them linked to information on their creators. It doesn't really claim any particular kind of authority from an organisation or the qualifications of its contributors, but I'm not sure how much authority a blog on this subject really needs.
An excellent blog to look at if you have young children who love to read, or whose reading you want to encourage.

Wow this site takes you back to those books that you wanted to read because of the illustrations. They are pretty amazing. I found the user info useful as it sets out the rules for using the website.
ReplyDeleteLoved this site and found the links really useful. I wish we had books like that in our library - they really make you want to treasure books and REALLY look at them and keep them forever.
ReplyDeleteI love this site too - easy to spend time here
