Bob Gill Books

A green-eyed mouse called Noah and a blue-eyed mouse called Raffaella see each other's eyes through a small hole in a wall. Both mice let their imagination run wild thinking what strange creature the eye belongs to. Beautifully illustrated, humorously written and brilliantly designed with a real hole in each of its pages to create a peep-show effect, this charming book is a visual treat for children and their parents.

The power of the illustration is brilliantly demonstrated in another compact volume from New York designer Bob Gill. In this book, simply but eloquently entitled Illustration , he features many of his favorite works, completed between 1952 and 2004. Subjects for his often whimsical, but always potent illustrations range from people and things to the more fanciful characters that populate several of the children's books he has written and illustrated. Some drawings have been at the center of successful advertising campaigns, others are less overt but particularly powerful political statements. A short, witty description places each image into the context of its time and purpose.
