The cover is the front of the picture book. It is the soul of a picture book. It can attract people's attention at a glance, and people have an impulse to take a good look in their hands.

Step 2: the secret hidden in the ring lining

Hardcover picture books generally have rings, and some paperbacks have no rings at all. If you open the cover, it is directly the title page.

Only when the ring lining is a blank sheet of paper can you turn it over without thinking. If the ring lining is colored, please take at least 10 second to see what color it is. The color chosen by the author must be closest to the theme and atmosphere of the story.

Step 3: How do words and pictures tell stories?

Picture books not only tell stories with pictures, but also tell stories with words. If you only look at pictures, you will only wake up half the life of the story. Similarly, if you only look at the text without looking at the picture, it will only awaken half the life of the picture book.

Step 4: What is driving the page turning?

Picture books are the art of turning pages, showing the whole story in sequence. In order to attract readers to turn pages eagerly, the creator has made cleverly designed picture books in words and pictures, and the edges and corners are permeated with the author's careful design and arrangement, which requires readers to study and understand attentively.

Step 5: Read again and again.

There is no other shortcut to really understand a picture book. There is only one way, that is, read the words (including words and pictures) carefully over and over again, at least ten times.

Picture books quietly hide too many things, leaving you to discover, discover and feel. As long as you read it several times, you will find many things that you didn't find when you first read it.

Step 6: Look at the layout.

Picture books are full of charming and excellent layout design from beginning to end, which is an art of graphic design. As an ordinary person who has never studied graphic design, he just keeps asking questions about the page layout of picture books.

Step 7: Discuss together.

There are many topics that can be discussed in a picture book. The most difficult thing is what is behind this picture book? The themes and ideas of some picture books are hidden in places you can't see, and you need to think to find them.
