B. Item Identification 1. Picture Books Picture books are generally dominated by illustrations, or share a 1 to 1 ratio with the text. The purpose of a picture book is to tell a story through illustrations, with minimal use of text. Note that the Picture Books collection is composed of fictional works. In contrast to picture books, juvenile fiction emphasizes the text over any illustrations that might be present.
Illustrators generally receive added entries rather than main entries.
Text will be more plentiful than the illustrations, and double pages of text are common. PZ8 PZ8 is the legitimate classification for English-language works of fairy tales , folklore , legends , romance , fables and anonymous nursery rhymes . We will accept PZ8 classification when these keywords are included in the subjects found on copy. In fact, these works may be assigned a variety of legitimate classifications other than PZ8, depending on the language and source of the work. Unfortunately the Library of Congress has also used PZ8 as a dumping ground for miscellaneous juvenile books.
