I've written before about the art of Janet Hill. I have to ration myself in looking at her work, though, or else I would be way too tempted to order more prints (and I already own this one, this one, and this one). But after taking a peek at her site recently, I can't help sharing a new series by her that I'm completely smitten with: Miss Moon Was a Dog Governess.
Hi, can i ask you something? You seem to know a lot about children books and illustrations. The thing is, I’m looking for children books with “scary” animal illustrations like the big bad wolf (or a fox) eating pigs (or seven kids or Red Riding hood or birds in Chicken Little) or being pictured with a fat stomach. Could be any other animal as well. I need it for my research. Any sort of help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteI'm not that up to date with illustrated children's books, so I'm afraid I might not be much help. This might be an obvious suggestion, but Maurice Sendak's books were the first to come to mind as having somewhat scary illustrations. I can think of two other blogs you may want to check out: 1) Brona's Books and 2) Julia's Bookbag. Both frequently feature children's books and may be helpful.
