I used to go to art galleries (Louvre, Metropolitan Museum of Art, etc.) and while many of the pieces were interesting, I would only linger at a handful of them. I'm not sure if it was because of the overwhelming number of pieces and the limited two to three hours I usually had such that I ended up walking past the majority of exhibits with only a glance.
However, nowadays, with my toddler interested in looking at children's books, I am lucky to have the opportunity to read with him and marvel at the illustrations in these books. I am often astonished by the imagination the illustrators have put into their creations. Considering the Voice of Fire versus the Secret Seahorse, I'll take the latter any day.
It's nice to once again enjoy books with both an author and an illustrator.
