Some children's recipe books ….

Ah yes, the traditional thing to do in lessons, to look at other books and artists. Well I do like my children books to have humour even dark humour at that. It was something I always liked when I was little, I don't feel I'd be able to bring such a thing into my work.

Here are some books I have found.

Not much is known on the author, Martin Howard, but he has written a few other witch related books as well as 'The bad dog's diary' I can tell he has some humour about him. The Illustrator, Colin Stimpson uses great textures in his works.

This very well known duo and i wouldn't be surprised if this was a big hit. It's quirky and is written by a well known author accompanied by a well known illustrator always seen with their works together. 

This certainly appeals to children with the childish drawings and the strange recipes that most children decide to make at least once when growing up. Although not a style I'm working towards I do like Quentin Blakes works and used to read a fair few of Roald Dahl's books.
