Each book in the Picture It series gives children (and even adults) an opportunity to illustrate a story themselves. The series helps readers make connections between the printed word and the pictures in their minds.
Clues in the text give illustrators ideas about what to draw and color, but they should be guided by their imaginations, deciding for themselves how the characters, setting, and other elements should look. Each Picture It book will be a masterpiece as unique as its illustrator!
Picture It books encourage creativity and provide engaging hands-on fun. Because kids illustrate the books themselves, they enjoy re-reading the stories often, and an "About the Illustrator" page at the end of each story helps to makes each book a true keepsake.
Picture It books make great gifts--before they’re illustrated as well as after. They are also perfect for road trips, summer enrichment, homeschooling, classrooms, hospital stays, and screen-breaks.
Colored pencils and crayons work best for the drawings and will not bleed through the pages. However, illustrators can also use pencil, charcoal, or even mixed media.
