Illustrators

     I have always loved picture books.  It is a great reason to become an elementary school teacher so you can continue to read and share them.  The illustrations in a book help to tell the story.  Some stories don't even have words.  The stories tell the pictures.  Some illustrators are better than others at conveying the meaning of the story through pictures.  One of my favorites is Chris Van Allsburg.  His work has always intrigued me.  I love his work in The Polar Express.  I truly believe the pictures tell the story as well as the words.
