My favourite book of fairytales is illustrated by Barbara C Freeman. My favourite story is One Eye, Two Eyes & Three Eyes, but here is a picture of her Thumbelina:

Quentin Blake, The Berenstains, Roald Dahl, Margaret & H.A. Rey, Theodore Geisel, Enid Blyton, Kathryn Kenny, Eric Carle, Maurice Sendak and Bill Peet all deserve mention. I've read and loved countless classics, particularly Heidi and Black Beauty, but as I get older I find my interest in YA fiction has waned, but my love of children's picture books is just as strong as it has always been. I regularly take picture books home from the library and enjoy studying how expressive and alive a character can be rendered in just a few strokes.

My favourite modern children's authors and illustrators include Mo Willems, Jon Klassen, Shelley Jackson, Bob Shea, David Shannon, Suzy Lee, Graeme Base and Sarah Verroken. Love your kids. Teach them to read.
