Review: Great book - Great book Review: Lovely Book - Lovely hardback book. I didn't realise this book's content was made up of the interviews on the Picturebook Makers website, so I was a bit disappointed as I had already read them all before buying it. But they are great reads and even having read them already the book was worth me keeping anyway purely for the beautiful full spread illustrations.

Brilliant
Really enjoyed this book and discovered some illustrators. For me I would love to have seen Oliver Jeffers and E. B Lewis included but guess you can't have everyone, perhaps room for another volume?

Bought for one, stayed for the rest 😊
Honestly, I only bought this book for Jon Klassen after buying one of his books for my son recently. But it was great to be introduced to other authors/artists. It's a nice easy read, with great art. 👍

An informative look behind the scenes of some of the best children's book illustrators.
If you have ever wanted to know what makes a children's book illustrator tick and how they go about doing what they do, this is that book!

beklediğimden de güzel bir kitap...
şu sıralar amazon kargoda sıkıntılar var, daha önce yaşamadığım bir gecikmeyle karşılaştım. ama kitabım hasarsız elime ulaştı. kitap bence illüstrasyon sanatçılarının kütüphanesinde bulunmalı. dili ingilizce ben yine de hatırlatmış olayım :)
