Chapter 7.... Picture Books
Tunnell, Michael O. and James S. Jacobs. Children's Literature, Briefly. 4e. Upper Sadle River NJ: Pearson/Merrill Prentice Hall, 2008.
Picture books are not necessarily a genre but a format. There are several different types of picture books, however, such as ABC Books, Participating Books, and Storybooks. I liked this chapter because it was fun to go back and remember some of the different types of books that I read as a child. It was also neat to learn about other types of books out there that I could use in a future classroom, such as "Anno's Counting Book", which includes several different techniques to introduce numbers through pictures that can appeal to younger and older children. I also liked the idea behind the book "If You Hopped Like A Frog", which compares distances between animals.
