Today metaliterature encompasses the picture book but there are not specifics studies about it. This paper explores picture-book publishing in Italy and analyses the work by Oliver Jeffers and Sam Winston A Child of Books (2016), recipient of the 2017 Bologna Ragazzi Award. This picture book epitomises the aesthetic and literary features of the various types of picture book. Metaphorically speaking, the book's multi-layering recalls the bildungsroman as well as the distinction between imagination and the creative power of invention. The iconic code accompanies readers on their journey into the imagination that is at the heart of the reading process. The use of the calligram is both an integral part of the picture and a metatext referring to a multiplicity of other literary works sometimes only touched upon. The paper explains that the best metaliterary pictures enable readers to access the polysemous world evoked by pictures and images while also nurturing the spirit and assisting in the formation of the self. Although their intended audience is children, who are shown how pictures and images are able to generate new thoughts, these books also address adult educators, inviting them to think critically about reading and develop new educational paths to help future readers to grow.

This book examines the special qualities of picture books-books intended to educate or tell stories to young children. Drawing from a number of aesthetic and literary sources, Perry Nodelman explores the way in which the interplay of the verbal and visual aspects of picture books conveys more narrative information and stimulation than either medium could acheive alone. Moving from baby books, alphabet books, and word books to such well-known children's picture books as Nancy Ekholm Burkert's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Gerald McDermott's Arrow to the Sun, Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, and Chris Van Allsburg's The Garden of Abdul Gasazi, reveals how picture-book design and illustration as well as by the relationships between pictures and their complementary texts.

Nowadays, fantasy works are generally accepted by adults for children to read. Children can benefit more from reading fantasy works if they are guided to know some guidelines that are contained in this genre. Since children are more familiar with picture books, this study applies these guidelines into the reading of picture books containing fantasies. The purpose of this study is to use picture books containing fantasies as a springboard to lead children to start their experience of reading fantasy works. The four selected picture books containing fantasies are Allsburg's (1985) The Polar Express Allsburg's (1981) Jumanji, Yorinks's (1986) Hey, Al, and Sendak's (1963) Where the Wild Things Are. This study also lists some questions, which can hopefully help those who are interested in using picture books containing fantasies in the classroom. Children can thus obtain a chance to begin to think about how they can bring about changes to their lives, and thus, the society they dwell in.

Ever since The New York Times published an article in October 2010 about the impending demise of the picture book, I have wanted to publish a short screed in its defense. I thought this was an opportune time because so many splendid picture books are featured in our spring issue. Let it be known that I am a devoted fan of children’s picture books. I read them voraciously as an adult, and have done so for as long as I can remember. I collect them. I purchase them in stores and from online booksellers. I present them to friends and little ones as gifts. As a special collections librarian, I also purchase them to complement and strengthen our antiquarian collections. To my immense satisfaction, I am literally surrounded by them. I understand that my passion for picture books is intense, but picture books are essential to feeding the child’s imagination and developing his or her critical thinking skills. A simple keyword search on the University of Alberta Libraries’ online catalogue revealed numerous peer-reviewed articles about the ways that picture books open up imaginative worlds to children; with this richer understanding of stories, children gain a greater understanding of themselves and the world they live in. If we acknowledge that picture books encourage children to construct meaning about characters, events, settings, and so on, then it seems only natural to conclude that picture books are essential to preparing beginning readers for pictureless chapter books. The author of the Times article reported that many parents are saying “My kid doesn’t need books with pictures anymore”, which is utterly shocking especially when we know the important role that pictures play in communication. When we introduce picture books to young readers, we allow them to make connections between their own life experiences and the illustrator’s use of colour, imagery, perspective, characterization, and dramatization. Picture books can provide powerful learning opportunities for children. I am always astonished at how much there is to learn about reading pictures. Whenever I open a picture book, I take great delight in the interpretive process. Indeed, interpretation is the essence of picture books, which is why sharing picture books with children is one of the best ways to develop their critical thinking skills. Are picture books dying “a sad little death”? The answer is obvious. I think not. I hope you enjoy this issue and please do get in touch if you have comments or questions.

Picture books are books for children that come with pictures in almost all the pages. Pictures play an utmost important role in explaining the story. Almost 50% of the story is told by the illustration. There are even picture books that come without any text, known as Wordless Picture Books. Picture books are typically the first books that children are exposed to. The books are either intended to be read aloud to children or for children to read themselves with guidance. With that in mind, the purpose of this research is to answer the following Research Questions: What do children really look forward to in a Picture Book? Which element in the book really attracts them? The research results indicated the key factors that children look forward to in the selection of a picture book are; namely colour, cover page design, title of the book, font size of the text, illustration, characters in the story and easy to read and understand text. Reading a book is a unique opportunity to see the world from another person's perspective. When children read books, whether it is a fantastical story about an object come to life or a very real article about animals, they become a part of that world and see life, through the eyes of the author. Children are uniquely able to accept and invest in the reality created in what they are reading.
