Words about Pictures: The Narrative Art of Children's Picture Books,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A pioneering study of a unique narrative form, Words about Pictures examines the special qualities of picture booksbooks intended to educate or tell stories to young children. Drawing from a number of aesthetic and literary sources, Perry Nodelman explores the ways in which the interplay of the verbal and visual aspects of picture books conveys more narrative information and stimulation than either medium could achieve alone. Moving from 'baby' books, alphabet books, and word books to such wellknown children's picture books as Nancy Ekholm Burkert's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Gerald McDermott's Arrow to the Sun, Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, and Chris Van Allsburg's The Garden of Abdul Gasazi, Nodelman reveals how picturebook narrative is affected by the exclusively visual information of picturebook design and illustration as well as by the relationships between pictures and their complementary texts.
