Wordless Picture Book Analysis
Ways to judge wordless picture books are to look at their complexity, details, continuity and consistency. These elements are vital in judging whether picture books are successful in younger earlier readers. Picture need to be age appropriate, but not overly simplistic so that the children lose interest in them. The second element that is key is the plot and what is happening. Usually, the reader needs to have some element of relatable and be able to connect to the reader's life and encourage some form of lesson to be learned, but not crossing a line of

    Writing And Illustrations In Fannie Lou Hamer's Life

    The style of writing and the illustrations would make this book appealing to children. The style of writing is simple and very easy to understand for children. Also, I think the style of writing would remind children of how their grandparents speak. They could relate the way the narrator speaks to their grandparents speaking. The illustrations in the book would make the book appealing to children especially in the south because of the colors and the way the people are drawn. It has pictures of cotton fields and farmland. The colors in the book also represent the narrator’s mood and what event was going on in her life.…

    The Arrival By Shaun Tan

    There were many differences and similarities in this picture book compared to a normal book. Overall because i have never read a picture book i didn't really like it. My reason for thinking this is because when you read a picture book the big ideas are given and you have to come up with the small ideas, opposed to a write book with words where you are given details only and you make up the big…

    Out & About With Poh By Ann Braybrooks

    As children grow, it is important to find materials that correspond to their growth in multiple areas in order to strengthen and further their development. Perhaps one of the best tools for accomplishing this task is books, which can be used to strengthen a child’s cognition, language, and understanding of the world around them. One such example is A Wonderful Wind from Disney’s “Out & About with Pooh: A Grow and Learn Library.” This book was written by Ann Braybrooks and demonstrates how a book, when written with appropriate developmental steps in mind, can be an excellent tool for helping children ages five to seven learn and develop in the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional domains. Before one even begins reading the story, the…

    Analysis Of The Arrival By Shaun Tan

    Taking a second, and even third, look at the book is important in understanding what is happening throughout the story. Although though it only contains pictures inside, there is a story written well beyond in each of the illustrations that make it to be complex and intriguing. As I thought about it, I concluded that this would be a good book for older elementary students who have learned to analysis and evaluate images. This book is a good way to help students strength the skill of looking at something in front of them and being able to make sense of it. While they may need some help or guidance to understand the content fully, they will be able to understand, and maybe even find different ways of interpreting the story that we do as adult readers.…

    These questions are answered to the best ability of the reader, so the quality remains subjective. However, it is an ideal method for parents who want to ensure that their children are exposed to books that they, as parents, perceive to be appropriate for their children. In order to determine how children’s literature has developed in terms of disability representation, in particular for children with autism, I have analyzed and determined the quality of the following four texts by adopting Blaska’s criteria for each of these texts.…

    It there a clear divide between childrens books

    By critical analysis it can become a very complicating task to define a child’s book. There are many fundamental definitive factors that can be found in books that have been written for Children. For instance, if we take the example of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe C.S Lewis 1950 . Universally it is recognised as a book for children. It contains the inherent facets of a children’s book. Often a typical children’s book will have a child protagonist. In the classic novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe C.S Lewis. C.S Lewis has not just one child protagonist but four. Very commonly we find the child protagonist in the story is an orphan. Again we can see C.S Lewis has shown four children that are away from their parents and the typical family nucleus. Moreover, examples of orphanage can be seen in the classic novel of The Jungle book by Rudyard Kipling 1894. In The Jungle book the child protagonist is an orphan found in the jungle floating in a basket by a panther.…

    Dr. Seuss Father

    The sound repetition makes it easier to memorize the stories. When the child can remember the words they feel like they are reading. Both child and parents know they only memorized it, but the child's confidence is boosted, and then next time the challenge of reading will be easier. The illustrations in the stories also help children learn to read. Most stories have made up words to follow the wacky rhyming patterns. These words can often not be understood by child or parent making the child, again, feel confident about reading. The illustrations can help the children figure out the word they do not know.In all of his works the illustrations create metaphors. Some of the best examples are back to his famous story, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street. When the child is traveling to school, he is carrying a large book that looks uncomfortable. This represents the child not enjoying…

    "There's a Wocket in my Pocket!" is an interesting children's book created by Dr. Seuss. At first glance one is given the impression that "There's a Wocket in my Pocket!" is just another fantasyland children's book by Dr. Seuss with a goofy cast of characters and amusing, memorable rhyme scheme. However, when one digs beneath the surface he will come to realize that this expresses a tale of paranoia and insanity that has been unparalleled in modern society.…

Whether they tell real or fictional stories, most children’s books often try to teach a meaningful lesson. Some children books teach about friendship, bravery, and diversity.

    Skills Demonstration (Storytelling)

    Aims: The aim of this assignment is to demonstrate and plan a story to read to a group of children aged 2 and half to 4. I chose this age group because this is the group I work with on a daily bases from 9:30 to 12:30 five days a week. I am picking a story called “Oh Dear” by Rod Campbell who is a Scottish writer and illustrator of several popular children's books including the classic lift-the-flap board book “Dear Zoo”. As it is a story that helps the children with learning the different animals on the farm and also encourages the children to use their imaginations as they lift up the different flaps in the book to see what is behind them. Which Maria Montessori says “Imaginative teaching materials are the heart of the process”. All of Rod Campbell’s “books have simple text often with repeating phrases which is ideal for pre-readers” and will also Help the children with langue and intellectual skills. “The child proceeds at his own pace in an environment controlled to provide means of learning” -Maria Montessori. this book also helps the children physically as they have to get up to lift up the flaps on the book “movement is therefore the essential of life education cannot be conceived of ad a means to moderate or worse to inhibit movement; it should only function as an aid to a better expenditure of energy whilst allowing it to develop normally” -Maria Montessori pg 102 discovery of a child. “The aim of the children who persevere in their work with an object is certainly not to “learn”; they are drawn to it by the needs of their inner life, which must be recognized and developed by its means.” – Maria Montessori pg 120 discovery of a child. To develop their attention spans…
