Expert Commentary
“The visuals in any book can be a huge help for younger children and students. Connecting these images to the words is a powerful learning tool. If the child or student has an interest, drawing or using crayons (on a separate sheet of paper, of course) can provide another venue of interactive learning in conjunction with the book itself.”
