 Definition

A picture book is a combination of visual and

verbal narratives in a book format, most often
aimed at young children. With the narrative
told primarily through text, they are distinct
from comics, which do so primarily through
sequential images.
Categories of Picture Book :
1.Board books
are picture books printed on sturdy cardboard — called paperboard — for young children who
tend to be less careful with books. Paperboard is used for both the cover and the interior
pages. The pages are specially folded and bound together.

2.Soft books, also aimed at very young children, are made of cloth or soft plastic.

3.Pop-up books employ paper engineering to make parts of the page pop up or stand up when
pages are opened. The Wheels on the Bus, by Paul O. Zelinsky, is an example of a best-selling
pop-up book.
4. Touch and feel books included textured surfaces in the pictures. Pat the Bunny, by Dorothy
Kunhardt, is a popular touch and feel book.

5.Concept books teach children about specific themes such as the alphabet or shapes. A famous
example is A is for Apple by Georgie Birkett.

6.Easy reader books are for children who are beginning to learn how to read and include simple text and
descriptive illustrations.

7. Non-fiction children's books are used to teach children in a simple and accessible way.

8.Wordless picture books tell a story only through images. They encourage creativity and can be
appreciated by children who cannot yet read. A famous example of a wordless picture book is The
Snowman by Raymond Brigg
the advantages:

1. The material taught is more focused because at the beginning of learning the teacher
explains the competencies to be achieved and the material briefly first.
2. Students catch teaching material faster because the teacher shows pictures of the
material being studied.
3. By analyzing pictures, it can develop students' reasoning power to think logically.
4. Can increase student responsibility because the teacher asks why students sort pictures.
5. Learning is more memorable because students can directly observe the pictures that
have been prepared by the teacher.
The disadvantage:

1. It is difficult to find good and quality pictures according to the competence of

the material to be taught.
2. It takes a long time to learn.
3. If the teacher is not skilled in managing the class, there is a concern that the
class will be chaotic and not conducive.
4. Adequate facilities, tools and costs are needed.
