{"product_id":"a-picture-book-primer-denise-matulka-9781591584414","title":"A Picture Book Primer: Understanding and Using Picture Books","description":"Everything you want to know about picture books can be found in this simple and straightforward guide. After defining the picture book and describing its history and technological evolution, the author helps you better understand and appreciate picture books by describing how they're made-their anatomy, types of illustration, layouts, design elements, and typography-various types of picture books (genres, formats, styles), how picture books work (the art of the story), and how they relate to child development and literacy. Picture book reviews, building a collection, using picture books with various age groups, and issues such as multicultural literature, classics, and controversial titles are some of the other topics covered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denise Matulka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1591584418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781591584414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Libraries Unlimited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.06w x 0.86d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2009 pg. 255\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2009 pg. 155","brand":"Denise Matulka","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46420307771647,"sku":"9781591584414","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc257f3d-e0eb-45b7-985b-24fdecde5010.jpg?v=1734634246","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-picture-book-primer-denise-matulka-9781591584414","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
