You've given me some interesting points to consider, such as how they change when at a distance. I had previously noticed this happening in The Troll by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by David Roberts. I'm looking forward to pawing through my books to see how other people handle eyes. A very interesting post, thanks again.Katherine Lynashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11622319483341175968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-82370331852449476642015-11-24T15:46:46.040+00:002015-11-24T15:46:46.040+00:00Thanks everyone!

The poor illustrators were given hardly any notice for this blog post, so I'm doubly grateful to them. Now I keep looking at the eyes in books (and the body language, etc.) - I can't stop doing it!

I'd planned to give more examples from picture books, but when I received the wonderful thoughts from the illustrators I cut back as it's a blog post and not a book! Originally I was going to include an image from your lovely 'Knight Time' because I liked the wayJane Massey illustrated the humans and teddies with dots for eyes and the dragons had circles and dots.Paeony Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129555451791248798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-9707909782119078422015-11-22T11:50:41.005+00:002015-11-22T11:50:41.005+00:00Really interesting!
