	Picture Book
		A parte gli scherzi (jokes aside), Picture Book is a work about "easy art"-practical art, easy to use, that attempts to satisfy consumers with its ability to resolve living room décor in spite of the art's inherent meaning.
		Picture Book is a work discussing the phenomenon of art when only its exterior qualities are considered, and genuine structure and meaning are largely ignored.
		Picture Book is covered with hand-painted silk, which was lined with Japanese paper before binding the covers.

	Viewing through Picture Books
		A picture is not the same as an illustrated story: there the words alone could tell the story and the illustrations simply break up the words or decorate the text...In the best picture books, the illustrations are absolutely necessary.
		Picture books, therefore, are especially useful to promote the core values that underpin the curriculum and to generate thoughtful debate on a range of issues.
		Commencing with a short history of picture books, the first chapter outlines the role of the illustrator, examines the characteristics of picture books and raises the question of picture books as a cultural artifact.

	WHAT MAKES A GOOD YOUNG PICTURE BOOK?
		A good picture book for the young usually is a book that a child doesn't tire of, that he/she can repeat favorite words or lines from after a reading or two, that uses repetition and chanting rhythmic lines, language play and silly or even more sophisticated and many-syllabled words.
		I think that the best books for this audience are the ones that tap directly into a young child's experience, allowing him or her to enter the world the author and illustrator have created, no matter how unusual or fantastical, and to feel at home there.
		Picture books must appeal not only to the child, but also to the adult who reads them aloud, or simply hands them joyfully over to the child.

	Picture Inconsistencies
		These books were suggested as having outwardly playful mismatches between the text and the pictures on at least one page, if not the whole book.
		Contributors perceive these books to have inconsistencies apparently in error-i.e., details from the pictures and text do not match, but readers believe that they should.
		Though text most often comes first, picture books are a collaborative artform among authors, illustrators, and book designers, so perhaps the question about whose version is "most right" is moot, except for what explorations of the question might have to tell us about reading practices and preferences.

	Mountain Humor: What's in a Picture Book?
		The legends and folktales retold in many picture books are derived from ancient oral traditions; in some cases, such as Native American tales, they were told in languages that had no written forms.
		In picture books with a substantial story line, are the pictures or the words the first to indicate what is happening in the plot, or do they work together on the same two-page spread at about the same pace?
		Be sure to include the title of the book (underlined), the author, and the illustrator somewhere in the first paragraph, possibly integrated in the first sentence.

		come about because an aide handed the book to President Bush for a quick schoolroom photo opportunity, the President didn't immediately notice it was upside-down because he was looking at the student to his right, and a photographer managed to snap a picture before the error was corrected.
		It might also be possible (but hard to determine from this image) that the books President Bush and the student were holding had removable dust jacket-type covers, but the cover of the President's copy had been put on backwards, so it looked as if he were holding the book upside-down even though he really wasn't.
		Note, for example, that the picture on the back of the book in the student's hands and the one on the back of the book President Bush is holding are the reverse of each other, a dead giveaway that the photo was manipulated:

	Illustrating a Picture Book
		If you are going to illustrate 32 pages of a book, whether you think that sounds like a lot or not, you still need a plan, and you need to be able to talk about how you arrived at the end result -- your process -- in case you need to defend your design decisions.
