Chapter 7

I enjoy reading picture books because they are not too long and to the point. They are great for young children since kids have such a short attention span. I think that when the pictures in the book are eye-catching, children will be engaged and they will want to listen or read the story. Lately, I have been having fun looking for books at the library, since I have had to look for books for this class. When I read the picture books I feel relaxed. I love to read them to my son, sometimes he thinks he is too big for those cute little stories but when I make him sit down (I have to make him get away from the Guitar Hero) so that I can read to him,  he actually is engaged, his is 11. Overall, picture books are great for kids because they need  to visually see what you are reading to them or what they are reading; it connects them to a visual aspect of the story.
