Show and Tell: The Fine Art of Picture Book Illustration

by Dilys Evans

Show and Tell: The Fine Art of Picture Book Illustration Cover

 

Staff Pick

Evans, a past art director of Cricket magazine, has worked with some of the most acclaimed children's book illustrators of our time. Her candid and detailed approach to talking about what inspired these talented artists made me want of jump out of bed, drive to the library in my pajamas, break in, grab every single book she mentioned in this fabulous collection off the shelf, and spend the rest of the night in the children's section of the library immersed in illustration bliss.

Publisher Comments:

For over 30 years, Dilys Evans has been deeply involved in the fine art of children's book illustration. In 1980 she founded The Original Art, an annual exhibition in New York featuring the best children's book illustration of the year. Now, in this fascinating exploration of children's book illustration, she focuses on the work of 12 contemporary illustrators. Looking at the wide variety of artistic genius in children's books, Show and Tell teaches the reader how to look for the perfect marriage of art and text, and is an invaluable guide for anyone interested in children's books and the art of illustration.

Illustrators include:

David Wiesner
Trina Schart Hyman
Lane Smith
Brian Selznick
