New Directions in picture book research

This paper reflects upon the book as titled above, although I have found only a few extracts within the paper that are of interest to me. However the paper does highlight some names of people within the field in picture book research. Maria Nikolajeva seems to be mentioned through various practitioners and is someone whom I have asked to view papers from through academia. More local researchers such as Evelyn Arizpe whom I had not been aware of, Sandra Beckett is mentioned for her contribution through her book crossover picture books. This is a book that I have just had delivered last week so will hopefully have useful information to pull from such a resource. Although this particular paper has little for me personally it does show my progress within the subject area and my awareness of either people or literature within the research field. Some extracts which are highlighted are shown below.
