Illustrated Books I am loving!

I love books, and in my opinion there is nothing better than books with illustrations! I think illustrations play such a powerful and important role in storytelling, they helped me first learn to read and fall in love with art. So here are 7 illustrated books that I am loving at the moment! They are all different in style and genre, but they all have amazing illustrations that I admire and am completely in love with!
