I don't know what the weather's like where you are but the temperature's dropped quite dramatically in the South of France. It looks like we are in for a week of rain too, so I thought I'd show you a few illustrations from one of my favourite children's books, Night Becomes Day.
That's better!

wow great illustrations & colors
ReplyDeleteJ'adore ce livre aussi ! Les éditions Albin Michel Jeunesse viennent tout juste de l'éditer en français : ) … Très bonne semaine à toi.
ReplyDeleteOui, j'avais lu quelque part que ce livre devait être traduit en français mais je me rappelais plus par qui - merci!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see these on here! I have a copy and love it too:) Have you seen 'The Orange Book' that's another fun one by Richard McGuire?
ReplyDeleteThe weather has turned here in the U.K as well, typical rainy bank holiday monday!!
I can see why it's a favourite, Deb. Just love the illustrations especially :) Kx
ReplyDeleteHe's got such a wonderful sense of style and use of colour! Just love him too!
ReplyDeleteReally wonderful - quite eastern european looking. The language flows beautifully too.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to ask - I was looking for some nice, well designed on-line games for Nelly the other day and wondered if you had featured any on here...how would I find them if you had, do you have a label list? Or could you recommend another blog that might have such a list? I've got few favourite sites she goes on (poisson rouge, okido, cbeebies [bien sur!] etc.) but am always looking for more!
Fantastic illustrations wonderful colour, simplicity and yet complex and sophisticated use of light and scale.
ReplyDeleteRichard McGuire is a great, great illustrator.
ReplyDeleteHis style is unmistakable. And his work in the "The New Yorker", excellent. I can't forget his film in the movie "Fears of the Dark."
Flora- my kids just aren't interested in online games. The only one I know is Cbeebies!!
