Children’s literature is often enhanced by the use of illustrations. In fact, some children’s literature could be described as more image than narrative. The use of imagery in literature can highlight important concepts within the story.  

Think about your favorite picture book. How would your feelings about this book be different if there were no pictures? How do the images enhance the story and your understanding of it? How would the story be altered if images were deliberately not used, such as in The Book With No Pictures by BJ Novak? Are images absolutely necessary in children’s literature?
