- The NY Times Picks the Best Illustrated Children's Books of 2009
-
Some brilliant books in there – if you’re at all a fan of picture book art, you’ll have to check out these suggestions.
I’d have to say “The Odd Egg” is my favorite, followed closely by “A Penguin Story”. “Tales From Outer Suburbia” is new to me, though – I can’t wait to check it out.

- Experiencing the Book "Where the Wild Things Are"
-
In a wonderfully illustrated way, Michael J. McAghon deconstructs Maurice Sendak’s picture book “Where the Wild Things Are” – and shows how subtle things, like page layout and illustration placement, unconsciously impact the reader.
It’s a great testimony to how picture books – at least good ones – are often an artform unto their own, requiring great skill and masterwork to pull off well. If you like this, I suspect you’ll also appreciate the wonderful Molly Bang’s book, “Picture This: How Pictures Work.”
