Picture books for children

How to grow a picture book? 

The content, form, illustration ... picture change with the child's growing up



• Picture books for the smallest children (in the first and second year of life) no longer resemble a toy book - unfolds in the array, assemble in fanciful shapes, are cut and
shaped by a character in the picture, thick, made of cardboard or a soft and flexible, made of cloth, sponge or plastic, complemented by sound effects ...

• At an early age children love picture books with rhythmic verses, nursery rhymes and poems that repeatedly and gladly obey.

• The first child's picture books are usually called. conceptual (cognitive) picture book (pictures of objects, people, environments, from the nature ...) which are for young children and the first textbooks to learning to interpret the image, recognize, tell, describe, compare ...

• The images in picture books for young children should not be burdened with excessive detail that may distract the attention of the child, while children under the age appropriate picture books with more pictures and less text, the illustrations should be older and more complex action.

• As the child grows up and becomes independent is watching, turning the pages, and reading picture books, illustrations are losing the information function and increasingly meet the aesthetic - the image no longer helps the understanding of the text but enriching experience.

• Four years old children and are interesting year-old action with a simple plot, a story about people and events close to their experience, and children six years of life are interested in more complex stories about people and the nature of close and far away, then fables and fairy tales;

• Elder preschoolers are suitable picture books with imaginative, understated illustrations as a child listening to and reading only creates images of characters and actions.

• The interest of the child subject and type of picture depends on its stage of development, but also the wealth of incentives and experience that has the picture books and reading.
