BLOG #5 PICTURE BOOKS
1. What are picture books? When can you use them? How? Are there any limitations?
Picture books are books that use pictures and text to tell a story. The most important feature about this type of book is the pictures, thus the pictures alone can tell a story. I think you can use picture books with every age group, especially if you want to engage the reader, and keep them interested. I know I’m personally attracted to books that have lots of pictures. Yes I do think that there are limitations. That is you must make sure the picture matches the text, and of course the picture and text should be appropriate for the age of the reader.
2. How do you evaluate or select picture books? What is the process?
I think when evaluating and selecting pictures books you must:
Know your reader
Select pictures books that you know will engage the reader
The most important make sure the text matches the picture being illustrated.
The process begins by selecting the appropriate pictures books for your diversified students, thus you the teacher should look at the book first, then make a sure you a wide selection of pictures books available for your students.
3. Personal views on picture books like? No likey? Why? Use or no usey? Why
I personally love pictures books. Oh I mean likey! likey! I use them with my own children and will definitely use them with my students. I think these types of books engage, attract, and keep the reader interested from beginning to end.

picture books can be used to tell a story and for many children picture books can help them relate to the characters in the story by having the students visually see what is happening in the story.
