Today over at Kirkus, I’ve got new books from Shaun Tan and Matt Phelan on the mind. That is here.
Last week, I wrote here about the 150th birthday of Beatrix Potter and the publication of The Tale of Kitty-in-Boots (Frederick Warne & Co., September 2016), illustrated by Quentin Blake, as well as A Celebration of Beatrix Potter, a collection of art and letters from more than 30 contemporary children’s book author/illustrators, coming to shelves in November (also Frederick Warne & Co.).
Today, I’ve got a bit of art from each book.
Enjoy!
