'The Sea Saw' 💗 🌊🐻
#BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday2
@mrjamesmayhew 1st one is Cheryl Harness in The Night Before Christmas. 2nd is Nancy Edwards Calder in Margaret Wise Brown's On Christmas Eve. My grown girls have the books now so I couldn't take pics! These are what I found online. #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday2
#BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday2 I remember loving this version of Thumbelina as a child. Illustrator Boris Dekhterev
Celebrating #BookIllustrationOfTheDay2 Don’t you long to be at the sea, listening to the waves, when you see these from Shirley Hughes. The sea, the light, the view, the shadows. Sea Singing in Stories by Firelight.

#BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday2 @mrjamesmayhew "Who do you love ?" by Camilla Ashforth .I love all of her books.

A quartet of Quentin Blake illustrations of the appallingly-behaved Badfort crowd from JP Martin's Uncle books. I found these pictures fabulously funny and anarchic when I was seven, and I still do.

It's #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday! A wonderful place to see picture book art run by @mrjamesmayhew.
In celebration, here is a favourite of mine- 'My cat likes to hide in boxes' by Eve Sutton, illustrated with charm and character by Lynley Dodd.
🐱📦
Lizbeth Zwerger is my third my great illustration hero.
Her exceptional drawing skill combined with a light touch in her use of watercolour to produce magical art like this from "The Swineherd” by HC Andersen. @lizbethzwerger @mrjamesmayhew #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday2
A few pics to mark #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday2, all rich in the sort of detail that fired my young imagination, from: Ant and Bee Go Shopping (Angela Banner); The Saga of Noggin the Nog (Peter Firmin); The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm (W Heath Robinson).
And finally the FIRST book I ever remember from childhood. The immortal ‘Winnie The Pooh’ by A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepherd. And please indulge me with my favourite illustration from my own, unpublished as yet, book ‘Peedie Pointy Dog’ 😉😁#BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday2
Then the books that made me cry.. there’s a breathtaking moment in Shaun Tan’s ‘Eric’ that was one of the most beautiful pages I’ve ever seen.. #BookIllustrationOfTheDayBirthday2
