Introduction
These children's books represent my personal choices for the best illustrated children's books of the year. Here you'll find children's books published in 2011 that have exceptional illustrations. The artwork includes collages, prints, paintings and mixed media illustrations.
Wonderstruck
Author and Illustrator: Brian Selznick, author and illustrator of
The Invention Of Hugo Cabret, for which Selznick won the
Randolph Caldecott Medal in 2008.
Recommended for: Ages 9-14 and on up to adult
Length: 640 pages
Story: Wonderstruck tells two stories, set fifty years apart, full of mystery and drama. One is told through words alone and one is told through illustrations alone until the two stories come together near the end of the book. Read my full review of Wonderstruck.
