Stylist is all about children's literature this week, with an exclusive magazine cover design by Quentin Blake and our selection of the 50 best children's books.
And to top it all off, we now have a series of beautiful prints by children's author and illustrator Judith Kerr, courtesy of theV&A Museum of Childhood.
With a natural eye for a child's imagination, Judith Kerr has long been a source of bedtime delight and escapism with beloved classics such as The Tiger Who Came To Tea and the Mog series, starring a forgetful - and at times, rather sad - cat.
Whether its a superior-looking tiger or a mournful tabby, her expressive sketches and wonderful storylines have captivated generations of children and nostalgic adults alike.
In celebration of her success, the V&A Museum of Childhood in east London is holding a retrospective of Judith's work, beginning this Saturday the 28th May.
This will feature original artwork, notes and sketches from The Tiger Who Came To Tea - a book Judith originally wrote as a bedtime story for her own children that went onto sell over five million copies sinces its publication in 1968 - along with a selection of her early childhood drawings.
To remind yourself of the wonderful characters brought to life in her books, take a look at some illustration previews from the exhibition, below:
