I think most of you who've been following me for a bit know how much I love a good illustrator. Now that my days are filled with endless streams of children's books, some good, some not so good, I appreciate the art form even more. I stumbled across this book and just fell head over heels with the illustrations and not for nothing the premise for the story is pretty fabu as well:
Panni Kövecses’s debut book is a kids’ detective story, which takes place in a small seaside town during summer vacation. We join Erik and Nipper in their hunt for the stolen canary, photo camera and horn-rimmed glasses to discover who is the unexpected thief behind all these mysterious disappearances. Thanks to the author’s graphic design background, this charming story is enhanced by a stunning illustration using great colors, lovely characters and some fabulous mid-century atmosphere. This book makes a perfect first for children who are just discovering the joy of reading.
It looks like The Wee One is getting anew addition to her bookshelf!

Looks absolutel wonderful as I too love a good illustrator! Might even have to get myself a copy!
I have to buy two copies so I can take out some pages of the first one and frame them. So cute.
Oh it is beautiful!! Have you ever read Picky Mrs Pickle? It's a whimsical and fun and my girls loved the pictures and rhymes when they were younger. Now and 9 and 12 they can still recite it from memory:)
Agree with you about the "some not so good" childrens books. Actually there's lots and lots of not so good and some very awful ones.
Will check this out. I love great illustrations! When reading a book to my little one, I sometimes miss the details in the illustrations and only notice them when I study them in detail.
I <3 the kitchen in the photo. The backsplash has a straightcourse pattern which I love. I'll probably buy this book just for the tile pattern :-)
Love!!!
