You'll want to take a look at the NYT Book Review's list of the best illustrated children's book of 2010. Such beautiful design! Such great artists! Some of these book are favorites of ours here at the library. But keep in mind that the list is for the best illustrations and some of these books, while beautiful, may not be abundant in kid-appeal.
Which ones from the list do we particularly love?
Children Make Terrible Pets written and illustrated by Peter Brown
Here Comes the Garbage Barge! written by Jonah Winter and illustrated by Red Nose Studio
and....
Bink and Gollie by Kate DiCamillo and Alison McGhee, illustrated by Tony Fucile
