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 \u003ci\u003eSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs\u003c\/i\u003e, Gerald McDermott's \u003ci\u003eArrow to the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e, Maurice Sendak's \u003ci\u003eWhere the Wild Things Are\u003c\/i\u003e, and Chris Van Allsburg's \u003ci\u003eThe Garden of Abdul Gasazi\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerry Nodelman is a professor of English at the University of Winnipeg.
