In chapter 7, I found the meaning of picture books to be more intriguing than I had imagined. Knowing the hard work that the authors and illustrators put into the meaning of their unique piece is amazing. These books give student's a chance not to just interpret from words in a book, but pictures as well. In picture books, as a children, we form our first memorable pieces of literature. I enjoy reading books such as Mama do you love me?, this book had few words and is a hard book, but my son enjoys me reading to him, he even point out pictures of the penquins or the clothing that they are wearing. Picture books not only provide another way to link the reader to the book, but also allows the reader to explore within the book to other cultures or ways of life other than their own. These types of open ended books, or short books with picures allows the reader to crically think outside of the box.
