Sorry, as I was thumbing through my posts, I realized I overlooked this chapter.
If you think about it, as adults, we do that often to this genre. We have gotten so used to chapter reading, we forget how this section contributes to the thoughts and furthers the imaginations of our children. For our visual learners, it will allow a concrete explanation.

This is a great website because it lists its picture books by theme. In the event that you are doing a lesson on water, you can use Do Fish Drink? First Questions and Answers about Water by Time Life for Children as a resource.

Picture books also help with the imagination. Have you seen a child in earlier grades, sit down and look at the picture book, the child then begins to tell a story to go along with it? I think that is so cool and it makes the children appreciate books at an early age.
