Customer Reviews
I've read many books about the "art" of picture books and how to analyze it, however, this book actually explains these principles in the context of specific picturebooks. I am familiar with most of the books that are analyzed, and as I read the authors' work and reexamined the books I found fresh insights that made each book more meaningful. I thought this book provided an excellent application of a relatively obscure field in the education world, and I will return to it again and again.
