3321 M&W Chapter 7 Picture Books

Chapet 7 Picture books
In this chapter we learned that picture books are essential for everyone, picture books are important because they contribute visual as well as verbal. “Picture books are the marriage of literature and fine arts into a unique literary form.” Pictures books enrich the child's world. They also provide a secondary way for the child to understand the story, they will understand the words but also the pictures. It is a richer experience of story. Picture books are extremely effective learning tools. We can use these books in a variety ways of lessons in our classrooms, performing as plays, puppetry or drama, there are infinitely ways of performing the picture books. The visual images are powerful means to readers; picture books illustrations make an important contribution to this process. I really enjoy read picture books because the arts that those books had its incredible and fun at the same time.
