While hanging with my 11 month old Niece in Canberra it got me thinking what Childrens books did I read when I was young. I would also say that these books were one of my first encounter with art and more than likely has inspiration and influence my style.
As above Roald Dahl www.roalddahl.com/ and illustration by Joseph Wright for What a Mess are two books that come to mind. What I liked about these books, and still enjoy is that these drawing can be enjoyed on multiple viewing's as there are many things going on.
What were your favourite books as a young child?

My fondest memories of books during childhood revolve around Stephen Cosgrove's books for Serendipity Press including Leo The Lop. I must admit the reissues on Amazon do seem to have different artwork, or perhaps my memory is just wonky... lol... It is difficult to say.
