  • An excellent addition to the reference collection of any school or public library.
    —Voice of Youth Advocates
  • This book is still an outstanding resource. It lists more than 300 new titles since publication of the 1990 volume 1 and includes many classic works as well.... This outstanding volume is recommended only for elementary school librarians and teachers and children's librarians in public libraries.
    —ARBA
  • Hall provides a stimulating perspective on picturebooks, based on a 'formal' consideration of 31 devices employed consciously or unconsciously by writers and illustrators.... The chief value of the book is to make teachers and librarians aware of the diversity of literary devices contained in picturebook.... A refreshing resource.
    —Emergency Librarian
Description: Both volumes of Using Picture Storybooks to Teach Literary Devices make it easy to find the perfect book to illustrate a specific literary device. The author has selected nearly 500 picture storybooks that effectively illustrate satire, allusion, pun, imagery, paradox, simile, analogy, and other literary devices. A substantial portion of each volume is a detailed guide for finding appropriate examples. This guide is alphabetically arranged from Allegory to Understatement and describes the appropriate titles for each device. Volume 1 spans books from 1980 to 1988, and Volume 2 covers books published since 1989 as well as classic picture books. All entries include full bibliographic information, a plot summary, examples of the literary device, and other devices used in the book. Entries in Volume 2 indicate appropriateness of a title for older students, the art styles used in illustrations, and suggested curricular tie-ins.
