After reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar, I loved how the book could stand alone without words. Readers can see the progression of the caterpillar as he eats through each item (complete with circular cutouts!). The words work to supplement the pictures, but I think a child could "read" the story to himself by looking at the pictures only. I think the text and the pictures work together to tell the story and can provide a starting point for discussing science.

One of my favorite books to read to my own children as they grew up was, No David, by David Shannon. the David Shannon illustrations in any of his books bring to life so may fun and amusing moments. So much more so than just the words alone. Even my eighth grade students will talk about this book as it is one they remember being read to them as a child.

CHALK

I recently read CHALK, by Bill Thomson. The illustrations in this book are AMAZING! It is a wordless picture book and the illustrator does an outstanding job in his artwork by telling a complete story through his work. This book can really get students talking, thinking and writing!

The story Courage would have read the same, but it would not have felt the same. The pictures of accompanying the texts allow the author and illustrator to guide the reader and to promote the "picture" or idea that they have. The reader can, and probably would have come up with "pictures" in her mind about what she is reading, but here the author/illustrator have a vision that they want to promote.

2. I read the story Nate the Great to my students. They really enjoyed the story and were very engaged while reading it. In one of the illustrations, I actually had the students actually color in the picture so that the students could make out what it is that they were seeing (see illustration.) In this way the illustration proved to be interactive!

Many books without illustrations would be very different. Illustrations help the reader see exactly what the other is talking about. In this particular book on the first two pages the author does not say much but the illustrations help me understand exactly what the author is trying to relate about everyday courage.

My favorite book for illustrations is "The Lion and The Mouse" by Jerry Pinkney. Their are few words in this book but without the illustrations you as the reader would not have a clue about what is going on. The illustrations take up the whole page with detail and wonderful design. This story is fabulous and great for teaching inference in your classroom.

This book would be very different without the illustrations. They give it whole new meaning. One example is when it says "every day kinds" referring to courage. The picture of the boy on the diving board makes "everyday courage" more relatable. The illustrations also show children the different instances of courage, and they make the story more fun.

A good book for illustrations is "I am the Dog" by Daniel Pinkwater. The illustrations take up the whole page and the words are on the illustrations. It is almost like the story was created using the illustrations and the words came later. The art is wonderful and detailed. This story would NOT be the same without the pictures.

For some of the text in Courage it is easy to imagine the illustrations yourself, but certain lines would not make sense without the illustrations.  For example, "Courage is doing it again."  Doing what again?  The illustration helps the readers to have the common knowledge that the author is referring to a roller coaster ride!

Stuck by Oliver Jeffers is an adorable story with text that describes a situation that is so outlandish that it could be hard for children to imagine!  The illustrations can help expand a child's imagination!

One picture book that I have always loved, both the text and the illustrations, is Tacky the Penguin. This text can be used in multiple ways to discuss being unique, fitting in, and point of view, plus it is hard not to love the main character, Tacky.

The pictures in Courage add reality to the story.  With out the visual young readers are not able to begin creating that imagery that we want them to get as readers.  Because of this I started to think about what all I could do with "wordless" picture books.  Especially with my sixth graders.  I am still looking for ways to teach inferencing, and I think a wordless picture book might be a strategy to explore.  I like this book called "Draw" by Raul Colon.

There's an Alligator Under my Bed adds just enough "scary" to the illustration of the alligator, without it becoming too scary.  This book could be read literally, but the illustrations truly express the humor of how parents view  their child's imagination.

At the beginning of Courage it would definitely be different because when it says "there are many types of courage" the illustration gives me a specific example when the text does not.

The illustrations in Not Your Typical Dragon help with picturing how the dragons look. I feel like with the illustrations, it adds a more "friendly" element to the book than what most students envision when they hear the word dragon. It also helps imagine the setting at such times as when the dragon runs away.

I just discovered the book, The 3 Pigs by David Wiesner.  His illustrations practically allow children to see the movement of the characters.  So much would be lost without his magnificent illustrations.

Courage would be quite different without the illustrations. I never really thought about "everyday courage" but what better way then to consider it during a day at the pool.

Another book with very good illustrations is "Rainbow
Fish." Find the link below.

I think Courage is a great example of a story that really benefits from the illustrations. Especially at the beginning and end, the illustrations provide a much deeper understanding of what the words are saying. Without the illustrations, the book would not have the same impact.

A book with great illustrations that lend a lot to the story is Wild by Emily Hughes.

1. Read the quotes below from my chapter summary and respond to the questions.

Sipe (2010) says illustrations and text produce a “synergy” that is impossible to produce with only one or the other. Adding illustrations to a book can change the meaning of the text. In picture books, “words tell us things that pictures omit and vice versa”. (Sipe, 2010)

Sipe, L. R. (2010). The Art of the Picturebook. In Handbook of Research on Children's and Young Adult Literature (pp. 238-255). Routledge.

2. Watch this reading of Courage and think about how the story would be different without the illustrations.

3. Post a video of a read aloud of a story that would have a different meaning without the illustrations.
