Illustrations have strong impact on children's behavior. Kids are little attracted to those books which have dull colours. No doubt in this book we see very very strong correlation between words and pictures.Helen_Combe wrote: โ01 Jul 2018, 04:02 I loved the cover, especially the way it brought together all of the topics inside the book. I also like the way the illustrations link to the writing, reinforcing the words with the action.

As they say " pictures speak." So this is right for this book. Children can easily judge by seeing those pictures what the Toni is doing, without words.MsTri wrote: โ01 Jul 2018, 12:39 I too thought the cover and pictures were very well done. Children for whom this book is intended love all of the color. Even beyond that, as I noted in my review, "a couple of pictures don't even have words, they're just for looking at. In several instances, it's clear that the pictures are a continuation from the previous page and even though it's just okay in the .pdf version, I imagine that it makes for a very nice two-page spread in the print version."

I think, children pay little or no attention to such minute flaws. You are a professional, so you were able to judge it. A layman can't judge it.Kmykel wrote: โ01 Jul 2018, 13:24 I'm going to be the odd one out here, but I thought the illustrations were far too simple. I speak as a cartoonist myself (be it not a professional one), and I thought they were just a wasted opportunity. A book like this needs big, beautiful, detailed pictures and these look unprofessional and sloppy. There was a nice sense of movement, but that's about the only positive thing I can say about it.

I really like your last line. It rightly depicts the beauty of this whole book. This is the quality that will compel children and their parents to go for the second book in series.SAMINA1122 wrote: โ31 Jul 2018, 05:11 I have read this book. I really enjoyed this colorful book with beautiful illustrations and a positive theme. The colors captivate me, too. It is glossy and attractive.

The cover is the gist of all the book. Just by watching the cover, you can easily predict about the story inside. Its credit goes to the cartoonist of this book.

I actually liked that image because I thought it emphasized the fruits and vegetables so, therefore, encouraged children to eat healthy.Alena_Surya wrote: โ31 Jul 2018, 01:23 I felt some illustrations were out of perspective espescially the dining room scene.

The front cover is a great combination of the many things Toni likes. I thought that illustration was cleverly done. It was one of my favorites along with the pictures hanging in the living room wall of Toni. I like when illustrators can insert funny little things like that to add just a little something extra.
