Picture books and beyond / edited by Kerry Mallan.
Collection: Picture books. "'Picture books and beyond' examines a wide selection of picture books, graphic novels, films, e-picture books and apps that reflect the diversity of these evolving cultural artefacts, and their opportunities for education and delight. 'Picture books and beyond' aligns closely with the goals and directions of the Australian Curriculum: English, and considers the potential of texts for enabling students to respond critically and creatively. It also highlights links to other curricula, general capabilities and cross-curriculum priorities. Chapters are generously illustrated incorporating a range of relevant images from the picture books and other texts discussed by the contributors. Each chapter offers readings and interpretive opportunities through the complex interplay of words and images, narrative strategies, digital interactivity, or filmic adaptation in the sample texts. At the end of each chapter a list of 'Additional texts' leads readers to other useful examples related to the topics discussed." - Back cover.
