Picture Books
Picture books provide a deceptively simple experience for readers. Packed into a 32 page package is a complete visual, auditory, and sensory adventure. Rarely does the text stand alone from the illustrations. Rather, they complement each other, adding layers of meaning and complexity. Meant to be read aloud, they invite parents, grandparents, children, and teachers to share the joys of literature.
Suite101 explores picture books offering sensory experiences for the very young, books for teachers or parents to use as springboards to lessons for older children, and ones that invite adults and academics to pour over the multiple meanings conveyed by a few hundred words.
