Tate children's books

One of the delights in visiting the Tate Modern gallery in London is its bookshop, especially for those with kids (or who just love children's book illustration).

Imagine a series of tabletops and shelves, filled with the very best of both modern and classic picture books: it doesn't matter what you pick up, because every single book has been chosen for its excellence in design.

Here you'll find all the Babygadget favourites, from Miffy to Charley Harper, plus the full range of books published by the gallery itself. More fool me, I hadn't realised they have their own imprint - have done since 1911, in fact.

With this, their aim is to surprise and delight you with the best in contemporary design and illustration.

This was the latest in my list of highlights from the Tate gallery: read the rest here.
