Description

With a Preface by Perry Nodelman, this book represents the current state of research on picturebooks and adjacent hybrid forms such as comics, graphic novels, and book apps for and about young people. It offers “more words” about various forms of picturebooks, exploring the current field and looking back over the history of picturebooks and picturebook scholarship. Essays visiting semiological and structural aspects of conventional picturebooks, graphic narratives and new media forms, and material and performative cultures represent current work from literary studies, media studies, ecology, art history, Middle Eastern Studies, Library and Information Studies, and educational research.
