However, I do belive that Lewis is basically pointing out how people analyze and describe picture books. Lewis also points out that we should survey picture books in open and exciting ways. I have never really placed much thought into analyzing picture books. I just viewed them as easy reading text. After exploring several picture books since English 170 I can relate to Lewis ideas.
Pictures books are unique in way that they trigger the reader's imagination.
They allow reader to look past the text and create their own stories based on their own perceptions of the pictures are trying to convey. Personally I enjoyed Z was Zapped because i found myself focuing on the pictures to predict what the text would read on the following page.
