He was an artist who was an important influence when I was starting out as a book illustrator. I've always admired his work and still do.
Arnold Lobel worked on a wide variety of books and always imbued his illustratrations with warmth and wit.
He created splendid pigs as in The Book of Pigericks (1983) and of course he was well known for his Frog and Toad series of books (from 1970).
These works below are just some of my favourites.
