The EYES (& ears & minds & hearts) HAVE IT.
February 10, 2015
I’m talking about last year’s inspections of a number of picture books that I and a few other kid lit writers voted (devoted) to share on our blogs. We said ‘AYE’ to the challenge and engaged eyes, ears, minds and hearts in picking and parsing some great picture books.
I learned a plethora of information about ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS that make picture books tick.
And tock.
And rock!
Patterns, Pacing, Word Play, Rhyme, Plot, Character, Theme, Conflict, Dialogue, Beginnings and Endings.

The emphasis on conflict in your review has me thinking seriously about reworking my own stories. Thank you I will be seeking out this book for a closer look.
