looks good in the context of a children's book. The text is kept to a minimum
in the book which gives the reader more time to focus on the images the are
very detailed and well drawn.
5. Hairy Maclary Scattercat
Hairy Maclary Scattercat uses the layout of one picture and one line.
On one page is the Image for that page and on the next is the caption
for the previous page’s image.

Puffin.
6. Pictures
The pictures in this book are illustrations that look like they have been hand drawn
with pencils. This is a really good technique for a children’s book as they would
usually
draw pictures using pencils and paper so that if a child sees the picture they instantly
recognize the drawing style.

has the text with a very small illustration which isn’t coloured in and then
the page next to it has one large coloured in image.
9. Pictures

full of different shades and drawing styles. Some

like they could’ve been made on a computer

hand drawn.

is written in Times New Roman. And the text has
a page for itself with the image on the next
page
