famous children's illustrators

I have been looking through some of my favourite children's books to gain inspiration for my project. The books which stand out as my favourites from when I was young are those by Roald Dahl, Dr. Seuss and Beatrix Potter, especially as I'm from the Lake District where Potter lived and used to visit the "Beatrix Potter Attraction" in Bowness-upon-Windermere quite often as a child. These books are all beautifully illustrated and really brought the stories to life.
The Big Friendly Giant from Roald Dahl's "BFG" above, and "George's Marvellous Medicine" below.

The "Cat In The Hat" and some of the characters from the book below.
