In their Children's Books special issue for the fall, the New York Times has a slide show of the top 10 illustrations from picture books of the year. Excited to see some stunning imagery, I clicked on the slide show...
...only to be met with kinda crappy photos of open books where you can hardly see the pictures.
It looks like somebody just laid the books down on a black tablecloth and took a picture of them, not caring that some kind of light is reflecting off the glossy paper and making it impossible to see what the illustrations look like.
Really, New York Times? That is the best you can do?
So I guess if we want to know which are really the best illlustrations from this year, we will have to go out and look at the books ourselves.
