My long list of favorite illustrators include a lot of children's book artists. One of my fave illustrators is Dick Bruna. I have been a fan of his Miffy books, along with his other characters, since being only wee tall. If we are ever in the Netherlands again, we will definitely have to make it a point to venture to the Dick Bruna Huis, a museum of all his art work... it must be amazing! I usually am not a fan of museum gift shops, but I think I could go buck wild in this one.

ReplyDeleteHello cute little bunny.
ReplyDeleteHis work is fantastic!
We love Nijntje! That's her name in the Netherlands (my daughter is 1/2 dutch) and we have like 10 of her books in Dutch. and various merchandise. It's like Elmo over here. Only much better...
ReplyDeleteYou are right, the illustrations are so sweet. She's a cutie!!! :)
I love the simplicity of the artwork and how well it embodies childhood. That would be an awesome museum to visit!
ReplyDeleteI love Miffy too!!! I used to have loads of Miffy books..... adorable!
ReplyDeleteI am very familiar with Miffy and Friends. (and the song from the show, which I've heard once or twice.....or more!)
ReplyDeleteLove Miffy too. I think the song just makes it stick in your head forever.
