A pioneering study of a unique narrative form, <i>Words about Pictures</i> 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 <i>Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs</i>, Gerald McDermott’s <i>Arrow to the Sun</i>, Maurice Sendak’s <i>Where the Wild Things Are</i>, and Chris Van Allsburg’s <i>The Garden of Abdul Gasazi</i>, 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.

Itâs a great buy; I saved money on this purchase.
This is absolutely required reading and perfect to learn from, if you are taking studies, classes or on your own to understand childrens books, and how they work with pictures, images and illustrations. Brilliant and exactly what I needed.
Zwar schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber ein Klassiker und must have für alle, die sich mit Bilderbüchern und dem Zusammenspiel von Bild und Text näher auseinandersetzen möchten
Il miglior libro in commercio sull’analisi dei libri illustrati. Approfondito, intelligente e preciso. Il lavoro di Nodelman è imprescindibile per tutti quelli che si occupano di letteratura per bambini.
I like this book. Nodelman is very clear and thoughtful. If you want to think about how words and pictures interact, this is a good book, regardless of whether you are interested in children’s literature.
