We Love Children's Book Illustrators #1- Abner Graboff

Abner Graboff was an amazing children's book illustrator that did the majority of his work in the 50's and 60's. By far one of ALC's favorites. Its one of those things where you get bummed because no one really knows who he is (if you don't count the Japanese), but at the same time your glad 'cause you want to keep all his wonderfulness to ourselves.

We were in an unnamed bookstore the other day and found a copy of crystal magic for a buck. It pretty much made our year, unless someone sends us "A Fresh Look at Cats". We would be forever grateful.

Check this site for some graboff goodness (if anyone reads japanese, tell us what is says):
