Wordless Picture Books
A picture book illustration is a powerful thing. It can echo the text, and it can also enhance it. A tiny background detail can add a humorous note or deepen emotional expression. And sometimes, illustrations can tell a story all on their own.
Wordless picture books offer an opportunity for readers to dream up contexts, motivations and dialogue. This can encourage beginning or reluctant readers by allowing them to control the story as they develop vocabulary—and it’s fun to do.
Wordless books are even used in speech therapy to stimulate spontaneous speech. Check out these wordless picture books for stories worth a thousand words–or as many as you like.
