I came across these absolutely beautiful illustrations thanks to ajourneyroundmyskull.blogspot.com ( now 50watts.com).
Aren't they just amazing? I can never get enough of beautiful kids books - I think I'll have to hunt the internet for the long neck deer.

In case you don't know 50watts.com and ajourneyroundmyskull.blogspot.com - it's a great find - take your time to discover and get inspired.
