Scribble by Deborah Freedman (2007)
This is a great picture book. I suspect all adults with kids would really enjoy, but kids would too...I'm sure. She is an architect with real daughters that must have been the creative impetus for this book. Two little girls about 4-5 and 7 are discussing, arguing, about their respective pictures. The initial pictures are pencil with watercolors and very nicely done using speech bubbles. The argument culminates with the younger one scribbling all over the beautiful detailed princess of the other. The fun part is how the scribbled picture comes alive and decides to save the princess. The pictures are all that we know good illustrations to be. It's well worth sharing.
