A Preference Oriented Guide for Selecting Picture Books.

Hurt, Jeffry A.

School Library Media Quarterly, v19 n3 p169-72 Spr 1991

Identifies four common variables in picture preferences of elementary school-aged children: (1) relationship between text and picture; (2) degree of realism; (3) use of color; and (4) amount of complexity. Selection of picture books based on these preferences is discussed, and criteria to help develop standards for selection are suggested. (12 references) (LRW)
