One thing about the Top 50 Most Borrowed Illustrators list is I don't know of them all, even some near the top. I'd love to see more illustrators as household names. Thinking I might work my way through it, so we can discover artists together #LibraryTop50 #PicturesMeanBusiness https://twitter.com/PLR_UK/status/1298176277090914306
It's going to be an incredibly subjective tour, I might not pick out the books or characters they're most known for. But I'll try to find links so you can discover more about them. Perhaps even think about featuring these illustrators in school or library displays! #LibraryTop50
No.1 #LibraryTop50: Tony Ross is best known now for collaborations with David Walliams, but I think this is my favourite picture book heā€™s illustrated. I also have this extract from The Big Bad Bun pinned to my wall and it makes me laugh. Heā€™s good at that https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Ross
