Let's not give up picture books in favor of word books. Children need glorious images that go with printed words. Those images will make the words unforgettable. Ideally, we want to raise children who are both verbally and visually educated, and picture books do both. Here are some examples of why picture books are a vital way to learn about the world.
Do you want your child to be interested in Shakespeare? Then you need this book. Even parents will learn something.
How about Marco Polo and his journey? This book has lots of words with illustrations both new and ancient that you and your child will never forget.
And finally, I cannot resist our own picture book biography of Antonio Vivaldi. This book along with a CD of Vivaldi's music make the composer come to life.
Happy reading and looking,
Janice
