picture info	Picture Book A picture book combines visual and verbal narratives in a book format, most often aimed at young children. With the narrative told primarily through text, they are distinct from comics, which do so primarily through sequential images. The images in picture books can be produced in a range of media, such as oil paints, acrylics, watercolor, and pencil. Picture books often serve as pedagogical resources, aiding with children's language development or understanding of the world. Three of the earliest works in the format of modern picture books are Heinrich Hoffmann's ''Struwwelpeter'' from 1845, Benjamin Rabier's ''Tintin-Lutin'' from 1898 and Beatrix Potter's ''The Tale of Peter Rabbit'' from 1902. Some of the best-known picture books are Robert McCloskey's ''Make Way for Ducklings'', Dr. Seuss's ''The Cat In The Hat'', and Maurice Sendak's ''Where the Wild Things Are''. The Caldecott Medal (established 1938) is awarded annually for the best American picture book. Since the mi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Picture Book (TV Series) ''Picture Book'' is a BBC children's TV series created by Freda Lingstrom, first broadcast in 1955. It was the Monday programme in the ''Watch with Mother'' cycle. Initially introduced by Patricia Driscoll, the programme encouraged children to make things; Driscoll's catch phrase was "Do you think you could do this? – I am sure you could if you tried". She left the programme in 1957 to play the part of Maid Marian in the ITV series ''The Adventures of Robin Hood''. Patricia Driscoll's episodes were repeated until 1963 and was replaced by a new series of episodes with Vera McKechnie. The programme ran until December 1965 and replaced in the Monday slot by Camberwick Green in January 1966. The show's opening theme tune was Badinerie, the final movement of Johann Sebastian Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B minor. Each Monday, Driscoll or McKechnie would open the Picture Book at a relevant page. Sometimes it would be shown to the camera at a distance, making the pages' co ...

	Picture Book (song) "Picture Book" is a song by the English rock band the Kinks from their 1968 album '' The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society''. Written and sung by Ray Davies, the song's lyrics describe the experience of an ageing narrator flipping through a photo album reflecting on happy memories from "a long time ago". Recorded in , its cheerful sound is defined by the jangle of an acoustic twelve-string guitar and a disengaged snare drum. In continental Europe, the song was issued as the B-side of the album's lead single, " Starstruck", in November1968. The same single was issued in the United States in January1969, though it failed to appear in any charts. While "Picture Book" remained obscure in the decades after its release, the song has subsequently become one of the Kinks' most popular songs, due in part to its usage in a 2004 advertisement for Hewlett-Packard and Green Day featuring the riff in their 2000 single " Warning". Retrospective commentators have described the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Picture Book Museum The Museum of Picture Books, also known as the Picture Book Library, is located in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture in Japan. In 2005, Japanese architect Tadao Ando designed this privately owned special library mainly to serve three preschools. However, visitors flock to the library on its open-access days to see Ando’s design and to enjoy the collection of international children’s books. Building The building occupies 492.07 m² of space, with the total floorspace amounting to 634.05 m² in Ando's building. Decorations are minimal, largely consisting of the books themselves in a cover-out display that dominates the space. The only three materials uses in the building are fair-faced reinforced concrete, glass, and wood. Though some may consider concrete a sterile or bland material, Ando sees it as warm and complex. He states, “Concrete can be very rich in color … the gradations of color create a sense of depth”. The simplicity of color is noted by some review ...
