i've always loved picture books, though lately, i've been like you, in basically only reading the fairy tales. my favorite illustrator is edmund dulac, who did wonderful watercolors. i also really like tasha tudor, c.e. brock & n.c. wyeth, though those mainly did illustrated plates as opposed to picture books.
i guess beatrix potter was a storybook author/illustrator, right? love her illustrations.
never really liked maurice sendak, except for his calendar book about chicken soup with rice. i think maybe because i didn't like the monsters in where the wild things are & i distinctly remember the book smelling really bad. the smelliest picture book i remember as a child was jumanji. loved the story, but never borrowed that book often due to the awful, awful smell. :P
some of my favorites are the philharmonic gets dressed, round trip, june 29, 1999, the stinky cheese man, & those architectural books by david mccauley.
