Children's Literature Briefly Chp1-5

Tunnell, Michael O. and James S. Jacobs. Children's Literature, Briefly. 4e. Upper Sadle River NJ: Pearson/Merrill Prentice Hall, 2008.

When I was little I always enjoyed reading, it was most likely because of the pictures but I never really knew the depth to which the pictures could take you. Chapter 4 made me realize just how important illustrations are to the text. They have to compliment the text, if they don’t then it makes the story less interesting I think. I really think that great pictures can tell the story them selves. I really found it interesting how lines in a picture can play such a huge role in how it communicates.
