No word picture books do not get the credit they deserve. No word picture books are books with no words and just pictures. They have pictures that tell their own story. Picture books are books that have both pictures and words. Teachers and parents overlook how useful no word picture books can be. These books are the beginning blocks for literacy. If a child can follow a story with pictures, she has begun learning to read. Some may even say she is actually reading because understanding images is as important as understanding the words. There are many different types of no word picture books like Full Moon Soup, where the child can make up a story around the pictures. There are other stories, like Tuesday or Flotsam, where there are intricate details a child or adult must find. In Tuesday, there are clocks hidden throughout the book, it is up to the reader to figure out what it means. In other words, don’t always push children to read books with words because pictures are important too!
