A pioneering study of a unique narrative form, Words about Pictures
examines the special qualities of picture books-books intended to
educate or tell stories to young children. Drawing from a number of
aesthetic and literary sources, Perry Nodelman explores the ways in
which the interplay of the verbal and visual aspects of picture
books conveys more narrative information and stimulation than
either medium could achieve alone. Moving from "baby" books,
alphabet books, and word books to such well-known children's
picture books as Nancy Ekholm Burkert's Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs, Gerald McDermott's Arrow to the Sun, Maurice Sendak's Where
the Wild Things Are, and Chris Van Allsburg's The Garden of Abdul
Gasazi, Nodelman reveals how picture-book narrative is affected by
the exclusively visual information of picture-book design and
illustration as well as by the relationships between pictures and
their complementary texts.
