#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Paul Galdone for "Anatole and the Cat" by Eve Titus (1957).
Simple (French flag) colours & layered tone, with line, give a jaunty air to these beloved books. I just love all these mouselings lined up in bed, jackets nearly hung up on named pegs!

Ok, inspired by @mrjamesmayhew here are some more illustrations by Eric Winter from the ladybird Snow-White. They bring back very vivid memories, but looking at them now, some of them are rather disturbing... (Just like the tale, I guess...)
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay #fairytales
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Eric Winter for "Snow White" by Vera Southgate (1969). For better or worse, the Ladybird "Well-loved tales" are indelibly etched on the memory of a whole generation. So vividly illustrated, every costume, expression & setting seems familiar.
Silence (1923) by Harry Clarke (UK, 1889-1931). From “Tales of Mystery and Imagination” by Edgar Allan Poe. #BookIllustrationOfTheDay.
An Alphabet full of Illustrators...U is For Ugo Fontana an Italian illustrator who illustrated over 250 books for children #BookIllustrationOfTheDay #ForgottenChildrensBooks
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by John Burningham for " Trubloff, The Mouse who wanted to play the Balalaika" (1964). A richly illustrated story of a runaway mouse who longs to have Balalaika lessons. The tale ends with a mouse band - and what could be better than that?
An Alphabet full of Illustrators...T is For Lev Tokmakov a Russian illustrator who illustrated over 300 books for children with stories illustrated both by Lithographs and Paintings #BookIllustrationOfTheDay #ForgottenChildrensBooks
