Art.com: Book Illustrations

Sometimes illustrations are the most memorable part of a book and should be considered art all on their own. Instead of defacing our favorite books, we were happy to find many illustrations from children's books are available from Art.com

 
 

Above is Peter of the classic The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats ($20 or $40 depending on size).

Ahhhh, Ezra Jack Keats!
Probably the most evocative illustrations I can think of.

Thank you for this! I showed the Snowy Day print to my husband, and he almost had a heart attack. It's his all-time favourite kids' book.

Man, with all the amazing poster, photography, and artwork recommendations you've made over the past few months, you guys are single-handedly decorating the walls of my toddler's new room.
