ABSTRACT
Picture books rely equally on the illustrations and the print text to communicate their messages and include picture storybooks and those informational books where the pictures and text complement each other (Huck et al., 1997, p. 198). Although picture books are typically intended for young children, many are now being published that are targeted for older children and adults as well
SELECTION
Selection of picture books to read aloud is a dual, ongoing process where the two aspects of selection are sometimes completed simultaneously. The first aspect involves developing your repertoire of literary works to be read to audiences. The second aspect involves selection of works from your repertoire for a specific performance.
