Research

For the research our group has done, we simply searched a few examples of Children's Picture books to get some inspiration and also to help us brainstorm on ideas on how we would like our book to look like.

Some famous Children's Picture book authors are Dr Seuss and Peggy Parish.

We have looked at some picture books we own such as Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) and How The Bird's Got Their Colours by Mary Albert

Here are pictures of the books we looked through:

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss

We observed that Dr Seuss Books have a rhyming pattern and it has big and colourful pictures which easily helps the reader to visualize and understand the events in the book. Unfortunately, we tried to rhyme one part of the book and we encountered so much difficulty.  

Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish

 This book has a lot of humour in it and it is just narrated in a third person point of view. For every event that happens in the book, there is an illustration for it. The illustrations are overly detailed. It has enough details and it has appropriate colours. Our book is similar to this, we have a picture for every event but the only difference is that we have 2 first person point of views which are Sunhee and Taeyul instead of a third person point of view for everything.

How the Bird's Got Their Colours By Mary Albert

This book is really colourful. The story is told by an aboriginal but the illustrations are painted and the illustrations of the book are based on Mary Albert's paintings. The illustrations look very much like a child has done it and it goes great with the text of the book. The way the content of the book is written is very creative and descriptive.

So for the picture book our group made, we had two first person point of views, which are Sunhee and Taeyul, as stated above. We also have at least one picture for each of the events which we decided to include in our book.  Our illustrations are simple and cartoon-like.
