Some recent picture book purchases that have knocked my socks off--and will more than likely knock yours off, too. None of these will disappoint. Have made a few notes below, to push you over the edge and straight into your local bookstore.
 |
| This is just unbelievable. Truly. It's magnificence personified. Maps of all styles, colours, places and time? It's just pure bliss. |
 |
| I had heard about Rivertime for so, so long and somehow, a copy just kept escaping me. I finally snaffled one and it truly is as beautiful as everyone says it is. |
 |
| HUGE Blex fan. Colour, form, design, cleverness. He has it all. |
 |
| A wordless book, this high contrast, poignant story is just awash with life and warmth. |
 |
| Don't be deceived. This is not just a baby board book with graphic design style imagery. It's overwhelmingly goosebumping. Tears sprung after the first page turn. Divine in its simplicity and splendour. |
 |
| I've had my eye on this book for some time and was delighted to stumble across it recently. Wordless and powerful. Stunning images. |
 |
| Love love love Alice Melvin, and this beautiful book with page lift-outs and cut-outs is Alice personified. And I love how much she's personalised this one. |
 |
| Frank is another love. His use use of retro styling and cleverness is just so Up There. Clever cut-outs form a play on words that will delight kids. |
 |
| Molly Idle has made a PB series out of Rex. And lo, they are good. |
 |
| Recent joint winner of the Kate Greenaway, let's just say there's a reason. I ADORE this book--in too many ways to mention, but suffice to say it combines stunning imagery with history, heroics, adventure, high detail and passion. Worthy winner. |
 |
| A new found love, Julia's work is so free-form and luscious. It's a joy to peruse this book and I adore her colour palettes. |
 |
| Not really a picture book--really a concertina map, but wow is it wonderful. |
 |
| I've just ordered in All the Buildings in New York--and Aussie James has also managed to sneak in a Sydney version (of all the buildings he's done so far). Hankering for a collection I can display on my wall shelves. |
 |
| I bought this from Closetful of Books on my recent trip to Singapore for the AFCC--and it's just toddler heaven. Not that I'm a toddler! But you know ... |
