Children's Literature Briefly: Chapters 6-8

I loved picture books as a kid and still do! What I really love about picture books, especially wordless picture books, is that they encourage the reader to use their imagination. This will usually result in every person having a different story to go along with the pictures.

Another type of picture book that I loved has a child was engineered books, also known has pop-up books. These get the reader more involved with the story by having an activity to do while reading, and you never know what is lying beneath the pull tab.
